Discover Notre-Dame de l'Assomption church as part of the European Heritage Days!
Guided tours on Saturday 20 September from 10am to 3pm and Sunday 21 September from 2.30pm to 6pm.
Built in 1423 on the foundations of an earlier Romanesque edifice, Notre-Dame church bears witness to the town's economic, political and intellectual prosperity.
Listed as a Historic Monument in 1862, the building stands out for the Gothic elegance of its 82.50-metre-high flamboyant spire.
A conservation plan has been launched by the current town council, and the first phase of work began in 2023 to mark the building's 600th anniversary.
Thanks to the involvement of the parish of Sainte-Claire de Fontenay, the Friends of Religious Heritage and the Chamade association, guided tours of the crypt, the church and the organ will be offered.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to discover the hidden treasures of Notre-Dame Church!
Access is free, subject to the capacity of certain rooms in the monument. The church will not be open to visitors outside the times indicated because of religious ceremonies.
