Cathédrale de la Major

Why go

The contrast between old and new cathedral fabric makes this more than a grand exterior. Walk the esplanade to take in the building’s scale against the sea, then look for the smaller earlier structure that the nineteenth-century project partly replaced.

What to look for

• Striped stonework and mosaics mark the newer cathedral.
• The esplanade opens towards the sea.
• Remains of the Vieille Major stand beside the larger building.

Useful to know

• Circle the exterior before entering to see how the old and new structures relate.
• Check the cathedral’s current timetable if the interior is essential to your visit.
