10 Monuments & Statues in Loire Valley That You Shouldn't Miss

March 23, 2022 Darwin Bolte

Old world villages and storybook chateaux bedeck the Loire, once fought over by Gauls, Romans, Visigoths and even Attila the Hun. Rent bikes and roll through the lush valley, visiting fortresses in Amboise and Angers, UNESCO-designated Chartres Cathedral and the Gothic cathedral in Nantes. Musee Jules Vernes houses replicas of inventions designed by the futuristic author. Pay respects to other former residents: the Romans in Tours, the cave dwellers of Touraine, and the liberator of Orleans, Joan of Arc.

Basilique Saint-Julien

Reviewed By H8962UYericb - Toronto, Canada

There are so many fine medieval churches in France that on its own it would be hard to give it more than three stars. But currently it houses an extraordinary installation of glass art by Marcoville. The church is often used for major art installations.
