The relics of Saint Solenne are deposited in Saint-Louis Cathedral, where a crypt has been created to house his tomb.

A first building was erected around 450 opposite the castle. In the 10th century, the relics of Saint Solenne were deposited there and a crypt was built as the saint's tomb. The minister of Louis XIV, Colbert, had it rebuilt after the passage of the hurricane in 1678 thanks to his wife who was from Blois. The bombings during the Second World War caused important damages which required new restorations and the installation of contemporary stained glasses.

A voir de passage
Un petit passage à la cathédrale ne s'impose pas forcément, mais ne fera de mal à personne. Prenez donc le temps d'y passer, même si la religion ne vous intéresse pas.

Magnifique édifice avec de beaux vitraux colorés. Se trouve également un impressionnant orgue. J'ai été surprise par la grandeur et la clarté de la cathédrale. Possibilité de visiter les jardins qui surplombe la Loire et la vue panoramique de la ville de Blois.

Très déçu par cette Cathédrale, sombre à l'intérieur. Aucun accueil. Aucun explication trouvée. La visite vaut juste par les vitraux.
