The Basilica of Saint-Martin is today a 19th century basilica, designed by the Touraine architect Victor Laloux.

Martin, the emblematic bishop of Tours and a miracle worker, was buried in Tours. Forty years after his death, a wooden building was built in Tours to house his tomb and part of his famous cloak. Given the success of this sanctuary, a first basilica was built in 470. It evolved over the centuries, then the collegiate church collapsed at the end of the 18th century. Today, it is a 19th century basilica designed by the Touraine architect Victor Laloux that we visit, but the crypt still houses the tomb of the saint.

Tout est beau aussi bien son extérieur et son emplacement idéal dans le quartier du Vieux tours et son intérieur avec un beau mobilier religieux et de beaux vitraux.

En plein coeur du centre historique, la basilique Saint-Martin trône avec la tour Charlemagne et la tour de l'horloge. Toujours un plaisir de se promener dans ces lieux

Magnifique
Magnifique endroit. Apaisant et vraiment joli. Je recommande d'aller visiter aussi la crypte, c'est un lieu très calme et hors du temps.
