Considering the Alpha Ocean in Saint-Malo?

St. Vincent's Cathedral by rexvaughan
This church dates its beginning to the 12th C but has a mixture of several architectural styles. It is a quiet place to explore and admire a wonderful rose window as well as other stained glass. The church is set in the middle of the narrow intra-muros streets so it is difficult to get a good view or photo, but the spire can be seen from all around the ramparts. The church is actually no longer a bishopric but the locals still designate it as a cathedral. It was severely damaged in WWII but has been very nicely restored. Its major "inhabitant" is Jaques Cartier, born in St. Malo in 1491, whose tomb is within. He made several royally sponsored voyages up the St. Lawrence in Canada in search of a passage to the Pacific. He never found it, but was the first to explore and map this region and is generally regarded as the "discoverer" of Canada.
