The Michelin Guide's review
Inside you will be taken by the contrast between the central nave, a fine example of southern Romanesque art, both simple and severe, and the Gothic Chevet lit up by the bays of the apse and the six chapels. The stained-glass windows (13 and 14 C) are among the most interesting in the Midi, while remarkable statues surround the chancel stalls. As regards the west side with its clock face wall crowned with crenellations, this is the inspiration of Viollet-le-Duc.
