The basilica blends Romanesque weight with Gothic light. It’s also one of the Cité’s most peaceful interiors.
Highlights
- South rose window with jewel‑like glass.
- Romanesque capitals with vegetal and bestiary motifs.
- Quiet side chapels for reflection.
Tip: Step in during midday when the alleys are crowding; the church stays calmer.
