Noyon Attractions 
Noyon (pop. 14,426), northeast of Paris, was the birthplace of the Reformer Jean Calvin (1509- 1564). The house in which he was born is now a Calvin Museum. Noyon, a town of brick-built houses, has been the see of a bishop since the sixth C.
Cathedral of Notre-Dame (Municipal Museum)
The former cathedral of Notre-Dame (12th- 13th C.) is a good example of the transition between Romanesque and Gothic. It was completely restored for the 1,000th anniversary of the establishment of the French kingdom. Features of particular interest are the beautiful 13th C. cloister, the chapterhouse, the library and the former Bishop's Palace, now the Municipal Museum.
