Cathedrale Notre Dame et St-Castor, Nimes
Nimes cathedral
This large cathedral was originally built in 1096 and has undergone many additions and modifications over the centuries.
It's very imposing from the outside with a Romanesque style frieze on the upper stories, which is said to be one of the best examples known in southern France.
It sill functions as a working church to this day with regular services, and you can still visit and take a look around inside.
Apparently acanthus and lion head motifs on the pediment and the cornice were inspired by the Maison Carrée.
