Vence - Cathédrale de la Nativité-de-Marie

Inside the Cathédrale de la Nativité-de-Marie, the Cathedral of Vence, bishopric seat upto 1801. Originally, dating back to the 11th/12th century, this was a basilica-style church, having one nave and two aisles. Probably only the pillars are still from that time, as the structure is renovated, changed and enlarged many times. Built in the pillars are some brownish reliefs. These stone carvings are from the carolingian church, that was here before the romanesque was built. Denis has a nice photo of one of these carvings:
