Its name is Sainte Cecile. And it's fantastic almost 300 years to be built.

8, the outside is a bit too austere for me.

It's actually really impressive to see for real. Pretty much everything inside is painted, really impressive (was in yesterday).

Someone said it looks like a fortress! Indeed, it was built by the catholic church after the events of the "Croisade des Albigeois", a crusade leaded by the catholic kings against the Cathars. The Catholic church had to show its power, its strength to the population, that's why they chose to build a cathedral which looks like a fortress. :)

It's really a wonder! 10/10 :)

Here's a picture I took of the cathedral from the othe bank of the river:
