THE EPISCOPAL CITY
A city composed of a cathedral, bishops' palace, Old Chapter and Bossuet garden with a large rectangular courtyard.
This district was formerly reserved for the bishop, the chapter of canons of the cathedral and their lay or ecclesiastical entourage. The architectural ensemble of the city is composed of the cathedral, the Bishops' Palace, the Old Chapter and the Bossuet Garden. The Bishop's Palace became a municipal museum in 1927, the Bossuet Museum. All this is organized around a large rectangular courtyard and a landscaped garden that local tradition attributes to André Le Nôtre. The episcopal city looks the same today as it did in the 18th century.
