Perched in Mâcon, a city that oozes charm, stands the Mâcon Cathedral, a neoclassical behemoth that serves as a symbol of its history and religious past. The present structure, constructed between 1808 and 1818, dons an architectural style that echoes the grandeur of the age - ornate stone carvings and details telling tales of skilled craftsmanship. The distinctive south tower, adorned with a belvedere, serves as the symbol Mâcon wears on its sleeve. Though no longer a religious site, it now holds a cultural significance and is the principal attractions for local events and festivities.
