Esta catedral es realmente impresionante, ideal para recorrer tranquilo, mirar detalles y empaparse del lugar. Una visita que realmente vale la pena dentro del recorrido por Lyon. La mezcla de estilos arquitectónicos se nota y le da mucha personalidad. El reloj astronómico que se puede observar esta súper detallado, te hacer detenerte y mirarlo con calma

La catedral cuenta con vitrales bonitos, pero al parecer a través del tiempo y las restauraciones, ha perdido un poco de su esplendor pasado, aún así vale la pena visitarla, en mi caso fue completamente gratis. El reloj astronómico es muy bello y detallado, aunque no lo pude ver en funcionamiento.

Muy recomendable pasar por aquí, lugar donde de casó Enrique IV con María De Medici, recomiendo también visitar el museo del tesoro que se encuentra dentro, es pequeño pero tiene objetos muy interesantes como los utilizados por el papa Pio IV y por los cardenales encargados de la consagración de Napoleón y del casamiento de Napoleón con Josefina, no tiene costo y la experiencia es invaluable.
