Church located at the foot of the royal castle, benefiting from an architecture witnessing the transition between Romanesque and Gothic styles.
Remnant of the former Benedictine abbey of Saint-Laumer, the oldest church in Blois, located at the foot of the royal castle, was built in 1138. It had to suffer the ravages of the religious wars and the bombings of the Second World War. Its architecture is the witness of the transition between the Romanesque style of the choir and the Gothic style of the nave reminding that of the cathedral of Chartres. Its rose window which illuminates the nave with a magnificent light is remarkable as well as its altar of Saint Mary the Egyptian which dates from the 15th century.

Idéal pour une jolie balade ou un pic nic dans ces jardins reposants et bien entretenus. Vue exceptionnelle sur Blois et la Loire. A ne pas manquer quand on vient visiter Blois.
