The relics of Saint Solenne are deposited in Saint-Louis Cathedral, where a crypt has been created to house his tomb.

The first chapel was built around 450 and, at the end of the 10th century, received the relics of Saint Solenne. It was then that the site was consecrated as a collegiate church, and a crypt was built as the saint's tomb (now the oldest part of the cathedral). Work began in the early 12th century, then under Francis I. Seriously damaged by the hurricane of 1678, the building was rebuilt thanks to Colbert, whose wife was from Blois.

A voir de passage
Un petit passage à la cathédrale ne s'impose pas forcément, mais ne fera de mal à personne. Prenez donc le temps d'y passer, même si la religion ne vous intéresse pas.

Magnifique édifice avec de beaux vitraux colorés. Se trouve également un impressionnant orgue. J'ai été surprise par la grandeur et la clarté de la cathédrale. Possibilité de visiter les jardins qui surplombe la Loire et la vue panoramique de la ville de Blois.

Très déçu par cette Cathédrale, sombre à l'intérieur. Aucun accueil. Aucun explication trouvée. La visite vaut juste par les vitraux.
