Simply beautiful Notre-Dame-la-Grande with 11th century church with painted columns and because it’s Saturday when I went here, a nice farmers market in the vicinity of the church!

We found Our Lady the Great (Notre-Dame la Grande) to be a beautiful eleventh century church. This is a Romanesque design so it is much darker inside compared with the later gothic cathedrals. The interior is also filled beautifully painted support columns. This is a really impressive thousand year old church.

A truly inspiring and profoundly spiritual place. Fascinating for me because I discovered a connection between here and the 12thC Ardmore Cathedral in Co. Waterford in Ireland - near where I live. Adam and Eve.

This is a jewel of an old church dating back to the eleventh century, the beautifully painted columns and interior walls are quite stunning.

Visited this church as part of the Traversées\Kimsooja series of events in Poitiers. Beautiful Romanesque structure inside and out, made extra special by Kimsooja's Solarescope illuminations and by the organ player practicing in the choir loft.

Tranquil and calm, silence is apt to meditate. Beautiful columns.

very beautiful Romanesque parish/collegiale church. Lovely stained glass and painted columns

One of the best examples of romane Church architecture, worth seeing during the illumination bringing colours back to the front of the church

11th century roman cathedral

A very ancient church, medium sized but contains a lot of history with beautiful stained glass and painted ceilings. Located in the heart of the old Poitiers village. Very quaint.

Along with Eglise Sainte Radegonde, it is one of the rare churches that has colorful patterns on its interior facade. A true gem in France.

Such a beautiful church, loved all the small details on the pillars, the statues and the paintings, beyond extraordinary.

Wonderfully preserved, beautiful old church - exterior and interior. Amazing painted pillars, decorated side chapel ceilings and stained glass. We had the extra joy of a solo with organ rehearsal. Free entry, short walk from Hotel de ville. Quiet as no market on a Monday

Beautiful and calming surroundings. Lots of history inside

An impressive church both due to its age and architecture, different from other churches due to its darkness
