Well, a cathedral like many others. This one was quite important as the town was central in the middle ages. Nonetheless it has a nice story about the half built tower. The legend says that each day that the tower was constructed the devil would remove the new part at night.

Very interesting information. The hike starts at the tourist office and has information along the way. All the posters are in English as well as French and explain a lot about the history of the village and its buildings. The cathedral itself is one of the highlights, it functioned both as a cathedral as well as part of the ramparts, which made it quite unique.

France has alot of churches. But not like this one. The tour of the city start at this church. It is built to withstand armies if the wall would cave in. A fortified church if you will. Very interesting to see. The tour itself is easy to follow and on the way there is explanations in english and french

Truly simplicity itself but stunning. The work that's being carried out gorgeous

Founded by a Welsh monk St Samson in the 6th century the cathedral today represents 13th century architecture in the heart of Dol de Bretagne. Very interesting village from the middle ages, cobbled stone streets and wood paneled houses.
