From the kings' porch to the archbishops' sacristy, where the cathedral's treasures are kept, you'll be struck by the importance of this ancient cathedral.

In July and August, the stonemasons from the Compagnons de Castellane come to meet us and talk about the work on the cathedral and their trade.
