Collégiale Notre-Dame et son cloître
Cardinal Arnaud de Via, nephew of Pope John XXII, founded a chapter of twelve canons in his livery to which he bequeathed his property in 1336. He enlarged his chapel which became the collegiate church of Notre-Dame.
In 1350, the canons had the cloister and belfry built adjacent to the church. In 1792, the collegiate church became the parish church, replacing the Saint-Pons church. This "paradise" features a sculpted decoration of flowers and foliage that constitutes one of the finest examples of naturalism in Gothic art. The Notre-Dame collegiate church and its cloister are listed as Historic Monuments.
