    Unbelievable. This church is meant to be an amazing church that is loved by. christians all around the world but the people here was so rude. They constantly made jokes againt the religion and even started taking the name of the lord god in vain. The interrior and exterior of the church was amazing but the people weren't. This really ruined my experience and I definitely will not come here again.

    It was nice to see the tomb of Saint Martin. Would recommend to pay a visit there if you're in Tours.

    Quite different from most cathedrals or basilicas in the area. It has a crypt under the altar with relics of Saint Martin.

    Went for Easter service. They made us feel as if we were part of the congregation. Thank you Tours!

    Beautiful building. Fairly “plain” yet precious. Worth a visit.

    An old and interesting church. You can visit a room below the main stage. In this room you can find the skull of the priest of this church. You don’t have to pay anything to visit this place.

    Greatness! This basilica is just immense and has the beautiful statue on top if the exterior dome. The true gem is in the crypt where Saint Martin is buried. Pilgrims used to be organized to pray in front of his remains

    Worth a drop if you’re passing by but not worth much more of an effort

    Just a beautiful church. Not much more to add.

  • 5/5 Harshika J. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful and historic church of Saint Martin, who was very revered. The church also has a tomb of Saint Martin, and there’s a piece of his skull there. One can light a candle and make a wish

    This is a really interesting and nice basiliek. Much more impressive that the kathedral or other basilieki have seen. Was fortunate to witness a service taking place and the acoustic experienced was incredible. Highly recommend a visit to this place

    This is a nice church and you can grt acces to other languages not only french, open for turist people, easy to reach by foot, beautiful from inside and outside. They had the "heart of Christ" exposed the day that I went, it was a friday tho!.
