Visit the collegiate church of Candes-Saint-Martin, a place of pilgrimage where the famous Saint Martin died in 397.

It was on the site of this church, a Romanesque chapel, that the patron saint of Tours, the famous Saint Martin, died in 397. It is then that Candes becomes a place of pilgrimage. Gothic style, the collegiate church which dates from the 12th and 13th centuries was fortified in the 15th century. It is one of the rare churches with a defensive vocation that can be found in Touraine. Among its curiosities, a capital carved with the heads of three revolutionaries: Robespierre, Marat and Danton. A place not to be missed in one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France!

La collégiale de Candes Saint-Martin est situé en plein coeur de la ville du même nom. On peut notamment y observer Robespierre, Marat et Danton gravés dans la pierre à l'entrée et aussi voir de très beaux vitraux à l'intérieur. C'est un lieu d'étape pour de nombreux pèlerins.

Une petite collégiale qui réserve le plein de surprises : du chapiteau des trois révolutionnaires (Robespierre, Danton, Marat) à la plaque commémorant la restauration de l'église grâce à Louis XIV

Magnifique édifice, située à côté du point de rencontre entre la Vienne et la Loire, au coeur d'un village étonnant.
Seul point noir : la difficulté pour se gare !
