A beautiful basilica for the first saint in Saintes, Eutrope! I liked visiting this place because it gave me a deeper appreciation for the history that has made Saintes the town it is today. It’s amazing that this structure has lasted for so long! It is a little muggy feeling but it is not unbearable. I definitely hope that this structure will continue to last forever!

The crypte is one of the largest ones and has a solemn atmosphere. The church itself hasn't got a lot to see

Very nice gothic Basilique and crypt, i recommend.

This Church and Crypt is CLOSED for Archaeological work.

Nice place with a lot of history. They should take care of the crypt, though. It smells mildew.

Fantastic cathedral in a small town.

Beautiful Romanesque crypt.

Historical. Crypte is impressive.

Beautiful old historic church. Under restauration in the day of visiting, so no services. Don't cheat yourself of visiting the crypt underneath the church. It is literally a church beneath the church. The lower church for the Pilgrims who wanted to visit the tomb of Saint Eutrope. It's an eerie and somewhat surreal experience to walk around in there. A bonus on top is that it's nicely cool on hot days.

Lovely church with colorful stained glass and large paintings. Good for peaceful reflection.
