The signature Cathedral of Meaux of what started off as a Romanesque style building which then redone in Gothic style. The Cathedral opens daily to the public but no services as it's going through some restoration work to the western façade portals and the organ buffet inside. It's stupendously magnificent inside and because of its overall height inside it allows natural light to illuminate the interior. Most notable is the monument to jacques Bénigne Bossuet, born in Dijon and was a bishop of Meaux, and is buried in the Cathedral. The stunning stained-glass windows, especially around the ambulatory area behind the high altar, are spectacular. My favourite is the "vasari corridor" that connects the Bishopric Palace to the cathedral at one of the left chapels behind the high altar. It's mesmerisingly beautiful and a must visit monument of Meaux. You might also like to visit the Bishops Palace and the Bossuet Garden, all in one glorious site.
