Seat of the Archbishop of Bordeaux-Bazas, this once Romanesque cathedral now displays extensive Gothic influence.13 year old Eleanor of Aquitaine was married here in 1137 only months before she became queen. Often compared to the Notre-Dame in Paris, the cathedral has it’s own deep solemnity. Beautiful statues, charming murals, and intricate carvings can take hours to appreciate. The church also hosts concerts; a must experience, so check the timetable on the website. The annual International Organ Festival of Bordeaux is held in this Cathedral; played on the great organs, the music is fantabulous.
