A breath of fresh air among France's often solemn cathedrals, Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption glows with unexpected luminosity. Its soaring 85-meter spire and graceful blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and classical styles reward a wander, as do the peaceful 16th-century cloisters and the statue of Cardinal Richelieu, who served as bishop here for nearly two decades.
