Though it is less decorative, it is known for its splendid stained-glass windows. The best part is that some of these windows depict wonderful stories. One such story depicted is the miracle of the host. Well, known French writer, Victor Hugo called this church “the purest flowering of Gothic style.” Apart from viewing the church, visitors can visit the archeological site too.
