A cathedral is dedicated to a saint
A basilic is dedicated to the virgin mary
It is not a question of architecture but a question of dedication |

A basilica: a term sometimes used in reference to a cathedral for ceremonial reasons, although traditionally denoting an earlier form of structure. The Basilica is the archetype of succeeding cathedral forms, the most famous of which is the early Saint Peter's in Rome. A Basilica consists of a Nave bordered along its side by Aisles with a Clerestory and an Apse.
Cathedral: A cathedral is essentially a large church. It is a term used in in the Catholic and high Protestant churches (Anglican and Lutheran) to signify an especially important church, in the Catholic and Anglixan church it is the seat of a diocese and located by the bishop's house. Cathedrals were built during the late medieval era, many in the Gothic style. These well endowed churches are able to support choirs and some of the modst important boy choirs are associated with important cathedrals. |

The answer that was given in French is the correct one. Churches, cathedrals, basilicas basically follow the church hierarchy.
So:
a Priest says Mass in a church
a Bishop says Mass in a cathedral
the Pope says Mass in a basilica (when he's visiting) |

Basilique : Nom donné dans l'antiquité aux églises qui, à la différence des simples maisons transformées en lieux de culte, étaient construites sur le plan des basiliques civiles de l'Empire romain : un rectangle terminé par une ou plusieurs absides. Titre conféré par le pape à certains sanctuaires (ex. Lisieux, Montmartre, Vézelay...).
Cathédrale C'est l'église principale d'un diocèse où se trouve le siège de l'évêque du lieu, symbole de son autorité et de sa mission apostolique. Il y en a généralement une par diocèse, parfois deux (dans l'Yonne, Auxerre et Sens). |

I don't think there is any difference. I think that it is just 2 different languages for the same thing. |
