Vienne, France: Cathedrale Saint-Maurice

It took a little time for this church to be built in Vienne. We are talking just short of 400 years - around 1130 to 1529.

The site had been used as a church before its construction. In fact, Archbishop Guy was crowned as pope on this spot.

Walk out the front door, and you merely needed to walk down the steps and down a short block to reach the Rhone River. The building technically hasn't been the home of a bishop in some time, but it's still a nice place for a short visit.
