Saint-Symphorien Church - Azay-le-Rideau

Highlight • Religious Site

The Saint-Symphorien Catholic church in Ponthion, a commune in the Marne department in the Grand Est region of France, was probably built in the late 11th or 12th century. At the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century the Romanesque church was partially renovated in the Gothic style. The church is dedicated to Saint Symphorianus, a martyr executed in Autun in the 2nd century. In 1924 the church was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as a monument historique.

The first traces of the construction of the Saint-Symphorien church date back to the 11th century.

The church was registered as a historic monument in 1908. Major restoration work 90 years later revealed the remains of frescoes in the choir and are visible today.

Azay-le-Rideau Moated Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Château d'Azay-le-Rideau was built during the reign of François I, on an island in the Indre.

Azay-le-Rideau, which seems to rest on the surface of the water, is for many the most beautiful castle in the Loire.

The last restoration was completed in 2017, visits are now possible all year round.
