Wow, what a beaut! This clock has been incredibly well preserved and the guided tours are top-notch. The tours start 10 minutes before the hour so you can see the big hooplah that occurs when the clock strikes the hours. The docent is thoroughly knowledgeable of the clock's history and inner-workings. As it is one of the four major astronomical clocks in France, it would be a mistake to skip out on a visit here- so worth the couple euros!.

Lovely cathedral. Unfortunately, the bell tower was covered in scaffolding (December 2018) but it was delightful all the same. You absolutely must stop by the astronomical clock while you're there for a guided tour! It's one of the four principal astronomical clocks in France.
