France's first Gothic cathedral. A must-see monument.

The Notre-Dame de l'Assomption church in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne is almost the size of a cathedral, which is surprising in a small town of five thousand inhabitants. Its construction began in the 13th century and was not completed until the 16th with the addition of the façade and the first western bays. This last part was not vaulted until the 17th century.
