Fodor's Review:

A stylistic hybrid scarred by centuries of religious upheaval and political turmoil, this imposing cathedral somehow survived the ages with its dignity intact. The massive Neoclassical facade was an 18th-century addition meant to shore up 12th-century Romanesque-Gothic walls; stained-glass windows, the Duke of Rohan's tomb, a few choir stalls, and the 15th-century Chapel of the Maccabees hint at lavish alternatives to Calvin's plain chair. Fifteenth-century bells and bird's eye city views reward those who climb the north tower.

Cost: North tower 4 SF
Open: June-Sept., Mon.-Sat. 9:30-6:30, Sun. noon-6:30; Oct.-May, Mon.-Sat. 10-5:30, Sun. noon-5:30
