On-site notes: the present font at this cathedral is a large reddish one, modern, probably 19th-century, located inside the church, "dans la première travée, chapelle du bas-côté nord" [NB: the present cathedral dates to the early 13th century, with earlier buildings back to the 4th century, but we have no information on its earlier fonts].
