Church built by Cluny monks to welcome pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela and serve as a place of prayer

This jewel of Romanesque art, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built by the monks of Cluny. It was built by the monks of Cluny to welcome pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela, and to serve as a place of prayer. In 1803, noting the poor condition of the roof, the prefect of the time ordered the demolition of the nave. Mysterious and remarkably well-preserved, this basilica offers a unique experience to all who visit its crypt, one of the largest in Europe! Visitors can also admire the recently sculpted modillions.

Eglise gothique SAINT-EUTROPE
Pendant les journées européennes du patrimoine, on peut accéder aux clochers des églises Saint-Eutrope (l'église située au plus de la ville en altimétrie) qui permet d'avoir un panorama sur la ville et aussi sur l’amphithéâtre Gallo-Romain qui se trouve à proximité; la cathédrale Saint-Pierre, l'Abbaye aux Dames.
A découvrir, à redécouvrir. Crypte romane remarquable classée à l'Unesco, halte d'accueil sur le chemin de Compostelle.

Une cathédrale incontournable de Charente-Maritime. C'est un monument très joli comme le décrit si bien le site. A pénétrer en ouvrant bien les yeux pour tout admirer

très belle église très intéressante surtout en raison de la très belle crypte dont l'accès est à l'extérieur de l'église côté gauche. Visite à faire en allant à l'amphithéâtre ou en revenant et évidemment c'est gratuit donc raison de plus pour y aller
