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

The first chapel was built around 450 and, at the end of the 10th century, received the relics of Saint Solenne. It was then that the site was consecrated as a collegiate church, and a crypt was built as the saint's tomb (now the oldest part of the cathedral). Work began in the early 12th century, then under Francis I. Seriously damaged by the hurricane of 1678, the building was rebuilt thanks to Colbert, whose wife was from Blois.

Cathédrale assez grosse vers le centre de Blois.
Architecture classique française.

Très belle cathédrale, on a été surpris par la clarté à l'intérieur et on a eu la chance de la visiter à un moment où il n'y avait personne. Le parc juste derrière et les petites rues typiques autour sont aussi très agréables.

Belle cathédrale très lumineuse. Belles peintures et magnifiques vitraux. Guide téléchargeable par QR code présent à l'entrée. Prenez le temps de faire le tour à l'extérieur de la cathédrale pour passer dans les jardins et profiter de la belle vue des bords de Loire

대성당의 외부와 내부 모두 멋집니다, 안에서 울려퍼지는 찬송가와 스테인드글라스, 창문 등은 장엄하고 웅장하게 느껴집니다

Nous avons visité cette cathédrale lors de notre week-end à Blois. Elle est d’une grande beauté aussi bien à l’intérieur qu’à l’extérieur.
