Church that constitutes a landmark for all those who sail, crowned by a large bracketed spire painted in black and white

This monument, one of the symbols of Ars-en-Ré, can be seen even before you arrive in this pretty village. It is distinguished by its famous black-and-white bell tower, which, at a height of 45 meters, has long served as a landmark for sailors. Today, it continues to serve as a beacon for all those who sail the channel. Classified as a historic monument in 1903, the building's architecture is original, with an interlocking Romanesque and Gothic church. In season, the tourist office organizes guided tours of the bell tower.

L'église
Avec le phare des Baleines, le clocher de Ars en Ré est une des particularité architecturale visible de loin. Le clocher imposant par sa taille servait à l’époque de point de repère pour les navigateurs. Grace à ces deux couleurs (blanc et boir), le village d’Ars est aussi facilement repérable dans l’île. Un large parvis permet de mettre en valeur la façade et le magnifique portail. L’intérieur actuellement en restauration est très sobre avec quelques représentations religieuses et une grande tapisserie. L’endroit est agréable à l’ombre de grands arbres et entouré de nombreux restaurants.

Visible by far, this bell is glamorous with its white and black blast arrow in square brackets. It dates from the XV century and should offer a beautiful view of the surrounding area. However, he was in work this summer and could not be visited.
