The medieval cathedral was built after a small wooden boat carrying a statue of the Virgin Mary "miraclously" sailed into port one day between the years 633 and 636. The crypt is still visible today. Abbe Benoit Haffrenique ( 1785-1871) wanted to restore the cult of Notre Dame and order the construction of a new church, which began with the rotunda in 1827. In 1852, he needed to add a cupola similar to that on St. Paul's in London.

WINE: Wine consumption has dropped dramatically at lunchtimes. It used to be a BOTTLE, then a PICHET (jug) then a quart(enough for a couple of glasses.) But now most - reluctant to eat a meal without even a taste of wine - are ordering wine by the glass.

THE BEERS: either bottled or pression (draught) Order a DEMI (25cl) or a GALOPIN (12cl) if you are feeling abstemious. For a raging thirst you need either a BARON or a PINT (from the English pint but pronounced pant) - the size of these varies from area to area but is generally either 50cl or 75cl. SHANDY: For a shandy, ask for a PANACHE; for a shandy with a dash of grenadine ask for a MONACO. Beers are oftenserved with a GLUG of SIROP (cordial) order a DEMI-FRAISE, DEMI-PECHE etc Popular among the young
