Collégiale Saint-Mexme, with a narthex featuring important medieval murals in Chinon.
This small monastery, conceived by Saint Mexme, a disciple of Saint Martin of Tours, became a collegiate church and the main religious building in Chinon. It is around the year 1000 that its oldest parts were added: the nave, the western part and its two towers. We owe their preservation to a vast restoration and rehabilitation project. Now a cultural place, the central nave hosts a small wooden theater. The narthex preserves important medieval mural paintings, associated with contemporary stained glasses of Olivier Debré since 2006.

What remains of the former college Saint Mexme de Chinon is now used as a cultural place. You can then enjoy a good time in a beautiful place, which has preserved some paintings and stained glass windows.
