Saint-Symphorien Footbridge (Pont de Fil)

Highlight • Bridge

The Saint-Symphorien footbridge (called “Pont de fil” among the Tourangeaux) is a pedestrian and cycle footbridge. It was built from 1845 to 1847 by the Seguin brothers, on the remains of the city's old medieval bridge. At night, the blue neon lights that light up the footbridge give it very modern hues.

Saint-Symphorien Church

Highlight • Other

St. Symphorien Church originally stood outside the city walls.
This meant that in the event of war or unrest, it was one of the first places to be hit.
Therefore:
– extra thick walls
– small, high windows
– simple construction
So it wasn't built "simply," it was designed for defense.
More of a shelter than a showpiece church.
