On the old Place Petit-Puy in Grasse, the Cathedral of Notre Dame du Puy is located. The first surviving mention of the Cathedral dates back to 1154, but it says about the already functioning Cathedral, the dates of its construction are unknown. The building, of course, was subjected to reconstruction, especially in the 17th century, but to a large extent retained its original appearance. The lighting on a cloudy day was more than modest, I did not notice any instructions to prohibit the use of flash, but I did not want to disturb the atmosphere that prevailed here with a blitz. In the interior of the cathedral, there are paintings by Rubens "Crowning with Thorns", "St. Helena", "Exaltation of the Cross", Fragonard's "Foot Washing" and other works. Here is the Crucifixion of 1830, an old organ, a shrine with the relics of St. Honorat. There are almost no visitors.
