One of the most beautiful buildings in the city, its construction in a flamboyant Gothic began in the sixteenth century after the fire of a first building. Its neo-Gothic facade dates back to 1894. Many bullet impacts have been visible since the last wars. The choir of the church houses the tomb of Jean Bart.
