Church that constitutes a landmark for all those who sail, crowned by a large bracketed spire painted in black and white

This monument alone symbolizes Ars-en-Ré. As you enter the village, you'll notice the large, black-and-white, hooked spire that crowns this church. Built in the 15th century, it has long served as a landmark for navigators. Even today, it remains a landmark for sailors. Listed as a Monument Historique in 1903, the building's architecture is original, with a Romanesque and a Gothic church intertwined. It underwent extensive restoration work, which was completed in the summer of 2019.

L'église
Avec le phare des Baleines, le clocher de Ars en Ré est une des particularité architecturale visible de loin. Le clocher imposant par sa taille servait à l’époque de point de repère pour les navigateurs. Grace à ces deux couleurs (blanc et boir), le village d’Ars est aussi facilement repérable dans l’île. Un large parvis permet de mettre en valeur la façade et le magnifique portail. L’intérieur actuellement en restauration est très sobre avec quelques représentations religieuses et une grande tapisserie. L’endroit est agréable à l’ombre de grands arbres et entouré de nombreux restaurants.

Visible by far, this bell is glamorous with its white and black blast arrow in square brackets. It dates from the XV century and should offer a beautiful view of the surrounding area. However, he was in work this summer and could not be visited.
Remember to supplementing the visit of the church itself by the guided tour of the bell tower. For that to pass through the Tourist Office opposite. Tours is needed and 10 11:8 10 people. €3. Passionate and exciting reviews. Enjoy in ask for free the town with its free tour in the alleys of ars with its charming stone houses and roses tremieres
