Church built in Romanesque style, with a Gothic aisle ordered by Louis XI in Saumur

Built in the early 12th century, it was the only parish church until the French Revolution. Built in the Romanesque style, it was endowed with a Gothic side aisle commissioned by Louis XI, who, to demonstrate his devotion to the Virgin Mary, had an oratory built with an ogival bay supported by a colonnette. The exceptionally large Romanesque nave is supported by columns decorated with dragons, chimeras and foliage. Admire the collection of twenty-one tapestries from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Eglise de Notre-Dame-De-Nantilly 49400 Saumur
L’Église Notre-Dame-De-Nantilly est une très belle église, un peu austère de l’extérieur, mais richement dotée à l’intérieur. Les très beaux tableaux et magnifiques vitraux, chacun avec des explications fournies très intéressantes, m’ont tout particulièrement plu. D’une grande clarté, cette église est très agréable pour y déambuler de découverte en découverte, en incluant la chapelle souterraine. Les vingt-et-une tapisseries des XVIe et XVIIe siècles n’y sont cependant plus exposées qu’à Pâques ou Noël en alternance. Je recommande malgré cela sans hésiter la visite !
