Located where the rue du Four-du-chapitre meets the Place de l'Abbé Cordier, this oven was given to the chapter in 1252 by Bishop Gui de Rochefort.

The 13-metre square building is vaulted with nine pointed arches and features capitals decorated with geometric motifs or stylised plants. A large fireplace is set against the front wall.
On the outside, note the sculpture of a small lion with a wavy mane...
