Sées

Sées is a small town in the Orne department of Normandy, north-western France. It grew from the Roman-era centre of the Gallic Sagii and has been the seat of a bishopric since late antiquity. Its Gothic cathedral of Notre-Dame, built mainly in the 13th and 14th centuries, is one of the finest in Normandy.
