👍👍 Cette exposition de Marcoville " Lumières célestes" était vraiment magnifique et tout en poésie... plus de 600 anges, 30 000 poissons, des Vierges à l'enfant, des arbres et des fleurs... Une merveilleuse représentation du Paradis... Et le tout en matériaux recyclés (du verre industriel). Il a fallu... People often mention Tours,

Une merveilleuse représentation du Paradis... Et le tout en matériaux recyclés (du verre industriel). Il a fallut plus de 10 ans à l'artiste pour réaliser cette oeuvre magnifique et féérique...

    Beautiful ancien look church (i love how it looks ancien, not fixed or covered with new material). But too pitty there is a new style (look like a train station) in front of this architect which damaged all the atmosphere. Don't know who decided to put that ugly building next to such a beautiful ancien thing which is supposed to be valued and maintained the look of history 🙏🏻😢

    Founded in 510AD and rebuilt numerous times the church is a testament to the French ability to rebuild and survive. The stain glass, likely the 3rd installation over the 1500 years remains impressive.

    Quite interesting church, going all the way to the VI century! Unfortunately, it’s closed due to covid restrictions.

    (Translated by Google) I couldn't enter because it was closed due to corona. It's just an outer wall, but it's a beautiful building where you can feel the history. If the timing is right, I'd like to see the inside too ☺️ (Original) コロナの影響か閉まっていて入る事はできませんでした。 外壁のみですが歴史を感じる美しい建物です。 タイミングが合えば中も見たいですね☺️

    Très jolie découverte lors du concert de l'opéra de Tours pour le festival des poètes. Maginique lieu.

    Last visit was to see and hear 2 chorals, one local the second from California. Great show. The church itself is worth the visit if you are into churches and/or Tours.

    Es una iglesia que se supone es de culto católica, pero estaba cerrada el día que la visité, algo descuidados sus alrededores, pues baje unos escalones y estaba lleno de orines, me comentaron de que es mas un museo, no supe ni lo confirme, si es así, me imagino que está desacralizada, por fuera se ve imponente con esa única torre que se ve imponente y solida, de arquitectura gótica esta está construida sobre otras 2 o 3 iglesias anteriores desde el año 507 que se inicia la construcción de la primera al conmemorar una vitoria sobre los visigodos, al parecer la actual iglesia es del año 1240 cuando se trabajó, otra vez, en su reconstrucción, una obra ya gótica. Por dentro es hermosa, así es que no pierda la oportunidad de entrar si esta de visita por la ciudad de Tours.
