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.

Magnifique cathédrale mais le curé a été très désagréable. Alors que ma mère s'apprêtait à mettre des cierges il est venu de façon vindicative me demander de sortir car j'avais dans les bras ma petite chienne. Il a prétendu que ce n'était pas un être du Bon Dieu car elle n'était pas baptisée. Jusqu'où va la bêtise humaine.?????

Fui a la boda de mis amigos que eligieron este precioso lugar para contraer matrimonio, pese a que el desplazamiento fue largo, mereció la pena.
Una catedral pequeña pero con mucho encanto, además cantó un coro y fue impresionante

Très belle cathédrale accolée à la mairie de Blois, de très jolis vitraux, un grand parking devant et des places dans les rues adjacentes.
