Review:
The Basilique Saint-Michel (Basilica of St. Michael) is a magnificent Gothic cathedral built between the end of the 14th century and the 16th century. Located in the heart of the old quarter of Saint-Michel, the church is a listed historical monument and features several striking architectural elements such as a 375-foot bell tower dating back to the 15th century and beautiful stained-glass detailing. The church has a Gallo-Roman cemetery and catacombs housing several naturally mummified bodies beneath the bell tower, which were exhibited in the crypt until 1979. The pulpit inside the church represents Saint Michael slaying the dragon.
