#### Resembling a fortress with a pair of bulbous apses, this opulent church has the expectation of miracles and healing in the air. 

Dating back to the 12th century, the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de la Sede blends Romanesque foundations with baroque and gothic features added over the centuries. Its prominent apses make the church stand out, while the interior is adorned with ornate ecclesiastical relics and works of art. Visit Cathédrale Notre-Dame de la Sede to take shelter from the heat of a summer afternoon inside its cool and sumptuous nave.

Admire the color pattern of the brickwork on the round apses. The exterior is also notable for an elaborate rose window and central tower. Notice how the church’s exterior resembles a fortress it was constructed using round stones from the Adour River. Inspect the array of religious gems and ornaments in the treasure house.

Head inside to witness the lively atmosphere in this busy church. Many worshippers come to this historic cathedral in the hope of being healed.

Marvel at the opulence of the marble canopy that houses the main altar. Enter the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin and study the black marble wall engraved with words by King Louis XVI.

Consider the rich history of the cathedral, which was built on a Merovingian cemetery. It is thought that St. Vincent de Paul was ordained as a deacon here at the end of the 16th century.

The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de la Sede opens daily from early morning to evening and is free to enter. Respectfully tour the church on your own or attend a Mass. Services take place Tuesday through Friday in the late afternoon and on Sunday morning. Note that the church also has chaplaincy and school services. 

Walk west from the center of Tarbes for about 10 minutes to reach the cathedral or travel by bus to one of the many surrounding stops. On the way, check out other highlights such as the Fontaine de Tarbes, Le Pari and the Mairie de Tarbes.

Room was clean. Location is perfect. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Testarurant was great. Only tow complaints: our coffee cups were not cleaned by housekeeping and the during check-in that kept insisting that my children have some sort of photo id for the city tax. We are currently residing in nearby Toulouse where we had left their passports in the B&B safe. The woman at the front desk couldn't seem to believe this and was kind of rude about it. We travel all over France and England for months out of the year every year. We have never had this issue. Is it a new thing? If so, they should make it clear on the reservation that every person staying at the hotel will need a photo id or send an email - anything other than stressing out late-night travelers who only want to go to bed.

We stayed in the family room which is on the attic. Personally enjoyed it as we felt like Paddington just below the roof and you can see the beams and slopes of the roof in the room. Staff were helpful and speaks English. Thank you for your service and making our stay enjoyable!
