SAINT-MÉDARD CHURCH
Visit of a church in Thouars, preserving a facade of Romanesque style from Poitou, and offering a panorama on the Thouet and the bridge
The emblematic building of Thouars. Although it has kept its Poitevin Romanesque facade and its poly-lobed north portal (12th century), it was largely redesigned until the 16th century. Among its treasures, an 18th century altarpiece attributed to the abbey of Chambon. Just opposite is the timber-framed house of the Artists (XVth), saved in extremis in 1930. From there, go down to the Notre-Dame chapel-collegiale via the streets Imbert and du Château, where small houses and grand private mansions stand side by side. The panorama on the Thouet river and the Chouans bridge is breathtaking.
