Coutances, Medieval cathedral town in Manche, France
The Gothic cathedral of Notre Dame stands tall with its three towers, dominating the town landscape from an elevation of 92 meters.
The original Roman cathedral from the 11th century underwent transformation into the current Gothic structure during the 13th-century reconstruction period.
The Museum Quesnel-Morinière displays an extensive collection of artworks from the 17th to 19th centuries within an 18th-century mansion.
Markets operate every Thursday and Saturday morning in the town center, offering fresh local produce and regional products from Normandy.
The cathedral's lantern tower features a dome supported by 16 stone arches, creating geometric patterns visible from the interior.
