Hiking
The Cathedral of St. André of Bordeaux has a number of special features that distinguish it from other large French cathedrals. One of these is the free-standing 50m high bell tower, Tour Pey-Berland, from 1440 (9), on top of which stands the statue of the Virgin Mary Notre-Dame d'Aquitaine. A westwork, as is usual in other French cathedrals, is completely missing. In its place is the nave of a Romanesque church that originally stood here. The opposite east side with its flying buttresses forms the choir.
