Notre-Dame de Nantilly
Église Notre-Dame de Nantilly
Saumur's oldest church, whose Romanesque nave houses precious 15th- to 17th-century tapestries.
Notre-Dame de Nantilly was begun in the 12th century and is Saumur's oldest church, where a plain Romanesque nave stands alongside Gothic side aisles added later. The church houses several tapestries from the 15th to 17th centuries, as well as a small chapel built by King Louis XI for his prayers. Admission is free. It is about a 10-minute walk south of the castle and can be combined with a visit to it.
