COLLÉGIALE SAINT-MARTIN
The collegiate church of Saint-Martin, built by Joan of Arc, features a bell tower in Chablis.
The canons of Saint-Martin de Tours, fleeing the Norman invasions, settled for a time in Chablis. Replica of the cathedral of Sens, their former collegiate church has a real particularity: the leaves of the side portal on which many horseshoes are nailed. Pilgrims, on the road to Santiago de Compostela, would fix the iron of their wounded horseshoes on this door to ask Saint Martin for their healing. Joan of Arc would have done so in 1429. Much more recent, the bell tower dates from the mid-19th century.
