Tips from the Community
The old Abbey Church of Saint-Laumer was built between 1138 and the beginning of the 13th century and exhibits early Gothic features. Fleeing the Normans, Benedictine monks, laden with the relics of their founder, Saint-Laumer, found refuge in Blois. They decided to establish their monastery there, the Abbey Church of Saint-Laumer, commonly known as the Church of Saint-Nicolas. From 1138 to 1186, the monks built the choir, the transept, and the first bay, completing the construction at the beginning of the following century. When the Wars of Religion broke out, the church was mutilated and the abbey destroyed by the Protestants. The abbey was rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries, and during the Revolution, it became the Hôtel-Dieu.

An unmissable stop on the Loire à Vélo route on the right bank is the viewpoint overlooking the Château de Ménars, a castle that once belonged to the Marquise de Pompadour. The castle is becoming increasingly hidden by the trees.
