The Cathedral Notre Dame de la Nativité, built in the 4th century took its final shape in the 12th century. The Tower Saint Lambert, vestige of the Bishop's Palace of France dates from the same period.
Inside, the size of the building can be surprising, but one is very quickly charmed by all the marvels which it contains: a fragment of a sarcophagus with low Gallo-Roman reliefs, pieces of Carolingian sculptures and a set of polychromatic wooden statues representing the Way of the Cross dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, the jewel of the Vençois religious heritage.
This sacred place shelters a baptistery decorated by Marc Chagall's mosaic representing Moses saved from the waters. Chagall who lived in Vence from 1950 to 1966 wanted to express the joy of baptism by this theme.
References:The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
