The 35 best churches in Poitiers

Looks pretty from the outside but it's closed due to renovation so unable to see inside. The picture boards on the outside seem to illustrate and beautiful interior, so it was a shame we couldn't see it all when we visited Poiters.

Amazing experience, after many gothic churches, to see this romanique one give you a big surprise. The only pity is that it is closed for many works of renovation

We found Our Lady the Great (Notre-Dame la Grande) to be a beautiful eleventh century church. This is a Romanesque design so it is much darker inside compared with the later gothic cathedrals. The interior is also filled beautifully painted support columns. This is a really impressive thousand year old church.

Wonderfully preserved, beautiful old church - exterior and interior. Amazing painted pillars, decorated side chapel ceilings and stained glass. We had the extra joy of a solo with organ rehearsal. Free entry, short walk from Hotel de ville. Quiet as no market on a Monday

A very ancient church, medium sized but contains a lot of history with beautiful stained glass and painted ceilings. Located in the heart of the old Poitiers village. Very quaint.

Such a beautiful church, loved all the small details on the pillars, the statues and the paintings, beyond extraordinary.

An impressive church both due to its age and architecture, different from other churches due to its darkness

built in the 12th-13th century, with magnificent stained glass windows and paintings. Looking above the choir, you can admire one of the oldest stained-glass windows in France. This is the Crucifixion window, which measures 3.10m wide and 8.35 m high. It was commissioned by Eleanor of Aquitaine in the years 1160 to 1170, when the current Gothic cathedral was beginning to be built.

It is the outside that makes this building into a cathedral as it is spoiled with 3 different arches heavily decorated. The interior only has in parts of the church his medieval paintwork and it also contains some exceptional glass windows which are abundantly detailed with scenes from the live of Jesus.

Poitiers is famous for its historic victories over Al-Andalus, particularly the Battle of Tours and Portiers in early 8th century, where Charles Martel halted the advance of Muslim forces into Western Europe. These victories marked a turning point in European history and helped preserve Christian rule in continental Europe („Rettung des Abendlandes“). Poitiers Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral in the city of Poitiers. Built mainly in the 12th-13th centuries, it is a prime example of early Gothic architecture in western France. Commissioned by King Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine, the cathedral features a wide façade with three large doorways and stunning stained glass windows, including a famous 12th-century Crucifixion window. The interior is spacious, with a wooden vaulted ceiling and richly decorated choir stalls.

Stunning cathedral and one that should he visited and seen when in Poiters. So much to see inside as each part has a unique feature. Beautiful and peaceful 🙏

Saint-Pierre de Poitiers Cathedral is a Roman Catholic cathedral located in Poitiers, in the Vienne department and the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. It is the seat of the archdiocese of Poitiers. In addition to its title of archiepiscopal church, it has had the rank of minor basilica since March 1, 1912. Less well known than the Notre-Dame-la-Grande church, this immense stone vessel is nevertheless the largest religious building in the city ​​and a landmark visible from afar in the urban landscape. Built on the initiative of Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II Plantagenêt from 1160, consecrated in 1379, it is in the Angevin Gothic style (use of curved vaults on a square plan) and is similar to the hall churches by its division into three vessels of almost equal height. The façade, flanked by two unfinished towers, borrows elements from the stylistic grammar of northern France. The interior preserves stalls from the 13th century and a collection of historiated stained-glass windows dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, including a Crucifixion, one of the peaks of French medieval stained glass art. The current cathedral was begun in the second half of the twelfth century, around 1162 according to Abbé Auber; it was financed by the bishop and the cathedral chapter but also perhaps by the Duchess of Aquitaine, Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204), and her husband Henry II of England Plantagenêt (1133-1189), as by all the faithful. The construction was long because the church was not definitively consecrated until October 17, 1379. The construction was carried out in seven successive campaigns. They did not follow a predefined plan, which explains many repentances and resumptions during the construction site. Indeed, the initial party, an Angevin Gothic with curved vaults, appeared more and more archaic as the work lengthened. The desire to build up to date clashed with the constructive choices made during previous work.

Beautiful and so peaceful nestled neatly in Poitier well worth a visit.

Magnificent gothic cathedral with beautiful stained glass windows. Important medieval monument.

Roman ruins, medieval art, and fine art. Admission was free on the day we went (Tuesday)

Fantastic museum. It was free to visit and contains some wonderful works by the recently re-evaluated Camille Claudel juxtaposed next to her teacher and lover Rodin, as well as many other works from ancient to 20th century. You will need a good hour or more to see everything. My only criticism is that it would be nice to have a multilingual audio guide or telephone app so as to access more information in multiple languages. One of the highlights of Poitiers and seemingly under-promoted by the city council. Staff were very friendly and helpful too.

Definitely worth a visit. We were very impressed by this modern concrete maze of a museum and art gallery, most of which is beneath street level. It covers pre historic, Roman, Medieval history and some stunning art and sculpture. We had to resort to Google translate as our French isn’t good enough to understand the descriptions. If you like Brutalist architecture this place is a hidden gem.

Worth a visit. I found the prehistoric and Roman sections the most interesting - as well as the brutalist museum building that is an exhibit in and of itself! The ladies on reception were lovely too.

Amazing Museum with an incredible collection of gallo-roman and medieval Age. It was a great Surprise!

A decent museum where especially the section with Roman artefacts is interesting. The paintings are from local artists, although the sculptures are of a top quality. As is free to visit I would certainly recommend this.

Free entry museum, lovely staff even though we don't speak much french they welcomed us in and with a bit of translator everything went great.

Beautiful church, very peaceful.

Along with the not-so-far Notre Dame de la Grande, it still has beautiful colorfully painted interior.

Don’t miss this church while in Poitiers. The burial site of Queen Radegonde

This is a very beautiful church not far down the hill from Cathedrale St Pierre. It is not as light as the Gothic church, and fewer people. Beautiful frescoes have survived above the choir. What you have to go here to see is the tomb. There is a crypt under the choir with the remains of St Agnes of Poitiers, among others. The stone sarcophagus is really eye catching lit around with candles. Don't miss

This church is so remarkable! The single Gothic nave isn't any Siegel, but the Roman choir and a vast crypt, these are absolutely unique! There is also a sarcophagus with Saint Radegonde. Really worth visiting.

Very Medieval Church built around the 6th century. Its name taken from Frankish queen and nun, Radegund, buried in the church, considered a Saint. The current Church is a combination of Romanesque and Angevin Gothic, constructed from 11th to 12th century. This is build in Latin Cross shape. It is one of many stunning churches in Poitiers. A must visit in this quiet but beautiful French town.

Great Church to visit.

Monument national ??!!

Entered the building intending to pay and there was a couple already having a talk from the person working there, so we waited by the door. The guide then stopped, looked us up and down and asked if we knew we had to pay and "if we could hear her over there", as if we were trying to steal a tour. There was an open door and then no-one in the ticket booth, so I'm not sure what we were expected to do. We left without going in any further.

Beautiful monument the Saint John baptistry is reputed to be the oldest existing Christian building in Europe. A must see.

Supposedly the oldest existing Christian building in the West and a spectacular example of Merovingian architecture. Interesting part of the history of this building was that it was abandoned around late 1700 during the "Revolution", confiscated from the church, sold to a private citizen who used it as a warehouse! Repurchased and saved from demolition, underwent restoration in the mid 20th century. Worth exploring.

7th century (c. 630-700), a rare Merovingian period monument preserved in an elevated position in France, houses a rare baptistery. Having the chance to visit this baptistery reminded me of Ravenna.

There is a small charge, which seems flexible if like us, you have a large family. Worth it to see what is claimed to be the oldest christian building in France. There is a leaflet that explains everything. Well worth the walk from the centre of town if you are interested in history.

An old baptistery still with remains of the swimmigpool used before

As half of the church was destroyed after the French revolution (used as a stone carry), only the upper part is authentic as the neve and facade were rebuild. But the roman architecture is however wurth while the visit as the repetitive arches within the church gives it a real distinctive atmosphere.

Very nice place to visit.

Wonderful place to visit!

Magical, elegant and beautiful historical ambience. It's history is a fascinating one which dates back to the 11th century. As you approach this church you are immediately drawn to her unusual and unique style. It was damaged during the French Revolution and was restored in the second half of the nineteenth century. A great atmosphere that welcomes all ages, backgrounds and religious beliefs. It's wheelchair friendly and highly recommended for the whole family. It's easily accessible if you're staying in Poitiers or accessible from surrounding areas by public transport or driving. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site bestowed in 1998. A charming and beautiful Church.

The church of St. Hilaire is one of the most important monuments in Poitiers for a number of reasons. First of all, it retains a good deal of it's 11th century construction and sculpture. This is unusual in French cities, where the rise of Gothic architecture tended to result in the tearing down of Romanesque churches in favor of the elegant new trends of the 13th century on. The current incarnation was built with a timber roof, but when that was replaced with stone vaulting, the nave was found to be too wide to support the weight of the stone above, so some innovative measures were taken in the form of an extra row of piers on each side of the nave to help lessen the span to be supported by the exterior buttresses. The scale of the church is massive, not necessarily in height, but in the volume of the building. Walk slowly down an aisle on one side, traverse the chevet slowly, marvel at the changing light, the 11th and 12th century carvings on the capitals and interior corbels, the remnants of Romanesque frescoes, and try to imagine how a rural medieval pilgrim would have reacted to a structure of this magnitude. You can easily spend an hour or more soaking up the peaceful ambience of the place. Another point of interest about this structure is the fact that part of the west end is missing, as this building was partially destroyed in quarrying activity following the French Revolution. Much of the vaulting in the nave and the western façade were rebuilt during the late-19th century reconstruction boom led by such people as Violet-le-Duc and Joly-Laterme. However, the building is NOT from the 19th century, as another reviewer has stated. St. Hilaire is a remarkable example of 11th and 12th century Romanesque architecture that, despite the relatively small areas of 19th-century reconstruction, is remarkably well preserved. It sits atop the central butte of Poitiers, some distance from the Centre Ville, but it is well worth the hike to get there. It is one of the places I visit every time I am in Poitiers.

Photographs cannot capture the majesty and scale of this 11th century church. Poitiers is a very beautiful and ancient town, the people are friendly, it's easy to navigate and there is so much to see.

Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand is one of the lightest, most elegant Romanesque churches in all of France. The slender columns rise up to create a great sense of verticality. Not to be missed. Poitiers has several very fine churches.

I was looking forward to this one as recommended by friends. The place is nice. The service was okay but felt rushed between courses. Both mains were prepared too early so most of the food was cold. It tasted lovely but not close to the price range.

Very nice and unique restaurant. The food looked amazing and was wel served with good sizes for the portions. The service was also very friendly and fast. There were just 2 small inconveniences, when i got my starter there was a small plastic layer still on the side of the dish. And the desert was hard to eat, there were to many different tastes all at once which made it hard to eat. But overall a good experience!

This is a truly excellent restaurant. The menu was varied, interesting and well priced. Our waitress was good fun and quickly established a natural rapport. Highly recommend and we'll be visiting again when we're in the area.

I was very disappointed with this Michelin-recommended restaurant. I ordered their set menu and chose the grilled octopus. When I got to the second half of the octopus, it was extremely bitter. I asked them to replace the dish, but the restaurant said it was not possible. Then I asked for a discount, but despite the poor quality of the dish, the restaurant offered no compensation at all. On top of that, the waiter was very disrespectful to me and even suggested I was trying to deceive the restaurant. However, as the pictures clearly show, the first half and the second half of the octopus were cooked very differently, with the latter part obviously burnt. They refused to acknowledge this, and they neither apologized nor offered any compensation. This restaurant forces customers to bear the full cost of their own mistakes in food quality. They refuse to take any responsibility or make any changes, no matter how unacceptable the dish is. Such behavior is completely unprofessional and shows a lack of respect for their guests.

The setting is spectacular and unfortunately that is the only time I could use that adjective in relation to this restaurant. The service was so awful that our paired wine was only served a few minutes after our hot main course was on the table. With the cheese course as well, we had to wait 10 minutes for the wine to be served. The maitre d was totally uninterested in ensuring her staff were working and never once checked whether the mediocre food was any good. À very poor experience.

We stayed at the Mercure for a few days and had lunch at the restaurant once. Delicious food and wine, good service and a wonderful atmosphere.

Located in an architectural renovation work of art, the setting in this large eating room is casual, great service and good food at reasonable prices. I had the rouget fillet, which was lacquered or marinated before grilling. It was fine, but I had expected a simpler preparation to highlight the freshness of the fish. Highly recommended restaurant.

Wow, what an impressive building. Just beautiful.

Absolutely stunning! Beautiful and lots of lovely cafes dotted around

Best place to take pictures and take a cup of café

I love it it's nicer by night 🌃

Very nice

nickel !

Amazing

Is situated at the top of hills.It's noto worth going there as you can see her much better from the bottom. Not available for visitors. The structure is in bad condition.

I wish you could access the statue

(Translated by Google) A marvelous statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary towers over the beautiful city of Poitiers. Unfortunately, it is no longer illuminated for political and ideological reasons. Visitors should be allowed access. (Original) Merveilleuse statue de la très sainte vierge Marie qui domine la belle ville de Poitiers. Elle n'est hélas plus éclairée pour des raisons politiques et idéologiques. Il faudrait pouvoir donner l'accès aux visiteurs.

(Translated by Google) A place from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city of Poitiers which retains its medieval atmosphere (Original) Luogo da cui si gode una bellissima vista sulla cittadina di Poitiers che conserva l'atmosfera medievale

(Translated by Google) It is not possible to climb the statue. There are stairs, but they are closed. Damage. The panorama of the city is really beautiful, there is a bench. But I liked the way to the village more than the statue itself. There are no plaques about the statue and its history. (Original) Не можливо піднятися на статую. Сходи є, але зачинені. Шкода. Панорама міста дійсно красива, є лавочка. Але шлях до па‘ятки мені сподобався більше, ніж сама статуя. Немає ніяких табличок про статую та її історію.

(Translated by Google) The statue is beautiful, especially coming from opposite, from the bridge (Original) La statue est belle, surtout en venant d'en face, du pont

(Translated by Google) Not to be missed. A remarkable view of the entire city of Poitiers. (Original) A ne pas manquer. Point de vue remarquable de toute la ville de Poitiers.

(Translated by Google) Super pretty. The monument is open only by internet registration during Archeology Day in June and for Heritage Day in September. The garden is open to him all the time (Original) Super jolie. Le monument est ouvert uniquement sur inscription internet lors de la journée de l'archéologie en juin et pour la journée du patrimoine en septembre . Le jardin lui est ouvert tout le temps

(Translated by Google) I had the chance to pass by by chance 3 weeks ago, an exceptional visit for the inauguration of the reopening of the park. A must see but only during heritage days (Original) J'ai eu la chance de passer devant par hasard il y a 3 semaines, visité exceptionnelle pour l'inauguration de la réouverture du parc. À voir absolument mais effectivement uniquement lors des journées du patrimoine

(Translated by Google) It's a shame it's closed, but the park is very nice. (Original) Es una pena que esté cerrado, pero el parque es muy bonito.

(Translated by Google) Place to discover absolutely. As the days for visiting the site are rare during the year, you must contact the Holy Cross Museum to find out the days. Visit upon registration (Original) Endroit à découvrir absolument. Comme les jours de visite du site sont rares dans l'année, il faut contacter le musée sainte croix pour connaître les jours. Visite sur inscription

(Translated by Google) An exceptional monument for a journey through time of almost 1500 years. It is not often accessible, you must inquire at the Sainte-Croix museum to visit it. Heritage days and archeology days are good opportunities. The Sainte-Croix museum presents, in its archeology area, some interesting elements concerning the hypogeum. An exceptional monument dating from the 7th century, it is a Merovingian sanctuary built in the middle of an important necropolis. It was during the development of a military site that the first graves were uncovered, in 1878. The chapel was discovered in 1879 during archaeological excavations of the necropolis. The hypogeum was cleared, then reburied to preserve the ruins and decorations. Finally, it was cleared again and housed in 1908 in a Gallo-Roman style building, it is this construction that we see today when arriving in the small park. The hypogeum was classified by the M.H. in 1886 and the small park which surrounds it in 1952. Like many heritage monuments in the region, this hypogeum owes its discovery and its development to Father Camille de la Croix. The latter passed from historical knowledge to archeology with astonishing naturalness, he was the author of remarkable works throughout his life. (Original) Un monument exceptionnel pour un voyage dans le temps de presque 1500 ans. Il est peu souvent accessible, il faut se renseigner auprès du musée Sainte-Croix pour le visiter. Les journées du patrimoine et les journées de l'archéologie sont de bonnes opportunités. Le musée Sainte-Croix présente, dans son espace archéologie, quelques éléments intéressants concernant l'hypogée. Monument exceptionnel daté du 7ème siècle, il s'agit d'un sanctuaire mérovingien construit au milieu d'une importante nécropole. C'est au cours de l'aménagement d'un terrain militaire que les premières sépultures furent mises à jour, en 1878. La chapelle est découverte en 1879 au cours des fouilles archéologiques de la nécropole. L'hypogée fut déblayé, puis réenterré pour la conservation des ruines et des décors. Enfin, on le dégage à nouveau et on l'abrite en 1908 dans un bâtiment de style Gallo-Romain, c'est cette construction que l'on voit aujourd'hui en arrivant dans le petit parc. L'hypogée fut classé par les M.H. en 1886 et le petit parc qui l'entoure en 1952. Comme beaucoup de monuments patrimoniaux de la région, cet hypogée doit sa découverte et sa mise en valeur au Père Camille de la Croix. Ce dernier passa des connaissances historiques à l'archéologie avec un naturel étonnant, il sera l'auteur de travaux remarquables tout au long de sa vie.

(Translated by Google) What a shame it can't be visited more often... But it is necessary for its conservation! We benefited from the explanations of an extraordinary speaker. Book for next year’s heritage days. (Original) Quelle dommage qu'il ne puisse pas être visitable plus souvent... Mais c'est nécessaire à sa conservation ! Nous avons bénéficié des explications d'une conférencière extraordinaire. Réserver pour les journées du patrimoine de l'an prochain.

(Translated by Google) A site whose visit is worth it. It is only accessible to the general public during Heritage Day, a unique opportunity to discover the fragile remains of this monument which survived the many upheavals that the region experienced at the end of the Roman era. Visiting it will not fail to captivate everyone's attention, whether you are simply curious or passionate about History. (Original) Un site dont la visite se mérite. Il n'est accessible au grand public que lors de la Journée du Patrimoine, unique occasion de découvrir les vestiges fragiles de ce monument qui a traversé les nombreux bouleversements qu'a connu la région à la fin de l'époque romaine. En faire la visite ne manquera pas de captiver l'attention de tous, que l'on soit simple curieux ou bien passionné d'Histoire.

(Translated by Google) It is one of the prestigious churches in the city of Poitiers. Austere at first glance, it is a charming and original place. A vast interior space that accommodates choirs and musicians, this original building wedged between two buildings is worth going inside. A tower-shaped porch bell tower that can be seen from afar (it is actually the only visible part of the church if you do not venture inside), a double nave and two very beautiful altarpieces for both choirs. But it is also one of the prestigious masterpieces of Romanesque art among those in the city of Poitiers. (Original) C’est l’une des églises prestigieuses de la ville de Poitiers. Austère au premier abord, c’est un endroit charmant et original. Vaste espace intérieur qui reçoit des chorales et des musiciens, cet édifice original coincé entre deux immeubles mérite que l'on y rentre. Un clocher porche en forme de tour que l'on aperçoit de loin (c'est d'ailleurs la seule partie visible de l'église si l'on ne se risque pas à l'intérieur) une double nef et deux très beaux retables pour les deux chœurs. Mais c'est aussi un des prestigieux chef-d ’œuvres de l'art roman parmi ceux que compte la ville de Poitiers.

(Translated by Google) Superb church, located in the block, entry is free, the stained glass windows are magnificent To have. (Original) Superbe église, insérée dans le pâté de maison, l'entrée est libre, les vitraux magnifiques À voir.

(Translated by Google) This church is nestled among the houses on the same block where it is located, with its impressive Romanesque tower still standing. From its lower porch, with columns featuring animal capitals and religious scenes, we enter a two-nave church, notable for its stained-glass windows and richly decorated Baroque altarpiece. There is another, more austere altarpiece crowned with a Virgin and Child. Information panels explain the elements we can see. (Original) Esta iglesia está insertada entre las casas de la misma manzana donde está ubicada, sobreviviendo su impresionante torre románica. Desde su porche inferior con columnas de capiteles de animales y escenas religiosas, accedemos a una iglesia de dos naves, de la que destacaría las vidrieras y un retablo barroco con una rica decoración. Hay otro retablo más austero que está coronado con una Virgen y el Niño. Algunos paneles informativos explican los elementos que podemos observar.

Beautiful church, simply amazing.

Atmospheric and well worth the detour

(Translated by Google) A little away from the city center but worth the detour. You can get there on foot from the Notre Dame la Grande church or the Cathedral in 15 minutes. Go back up rue de la Chaîne towards the city center, you will see the Hotel Fumé. Work in 2017 was carried out outside and inside for a restoration that this magnificent monument needed. Its beauty and presence shine on the banks of the Clain. Simply cross the boulevard to enjoy a charming shaded walk along the river. A perfect place for meditation, contemplation or simple relaxation, and a magnificent moment of history. The simple and austere facade hides a vast and welcoming place which encourages communion. To discover if you pass through Poitiers or if you live in Poitiers. (Original) Un peu à l'écart du centre ville mais elle mérite le détour. Vous pouvez y venir à pied depuis l'église Notre Dame la grande ou la Cathédrale en 15mn. Remontez par la rue de la Chaîne vers le centre ville, vous verrez l'Hotel Fumé. Des travaux en 2017 ont été effectués dehors et dedans pour une restauration dont ce magnifique monument avait besoin. Sa beauté et sa prestance resplendissent au bords du Clain. Il vous suffit de traverser le boulevard pour profiter d’une charmante promenade ombragée au bord de la rivière. Un endroit parfait pour la méditation, le recueillement ou la simple détente, et un magnifique moment d'histoire. La façade simple et austère dissimule un endroit vaste et accueillant qui incite à la communion. A découvrir si vous passez à Poitiers ou si vous habitez Poitiers.

(Translated by Google) The church, classified in 2013 by the M.H., is to be discovered for its frescoes, created in the 20th century by Marie Baranger, (1902-2003), an internationally renowned fresco painter. This artist, born in Angoulême, created the frescoes which adorn the walls of this church. She practiced her art until the age of 84, on all continents; encouraging the creation of indigenous artists, she defended the value of local cultures and their artistic riches. She was charged, as an expert, with inculturation at the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) Locally, you can discover other works by this artist in the church of Migné-Auxances and in the waiting room of the “Toits du Monde” association premises. But also the church of Blaslay or that of Charrais, villages located a few kms away. A church, a history: this church, originally the chapel of the Grand Maison college run by the fathers of Picpus, disused in 1904 after the expulsion of the teaching congregations and destined to disappear, was rebuilt in this place, thanks to charity and to the dedication of the many friends of the work and especially of the former students who remained faithful guardians of the traditions of the vanished college. It was delivered to worship on May 21, 1934 and consecrated on October 2, 1935 by Monsignor Mesguen, Bishop of Poitiers. Father Bressollette, responsible for organizing this work, was the first priest of the new parish. (Original) L’église, classée en 2013 par les M.H. est à découvrir pour ses fresques, réalisées au 20ème siècle par Marie Baranger, (1902-2003) peintre fresquiste de renommée internationale.

Elle a pratiqué son art jusqu’à 84 ans, sur tous les continents ; encourageant la création d’artistes indigènes, elle défendait la valeur des cultures locales et leurs richesses artistiques. Elle fut chargée, comme experte, de l'inculturation au Concile Vatican II (1962-1965) Localement, vous pouvez découvrir d’autres œuvres de cette artiste dans l’église de Migné-Auxances et dans la salle d’attente du local de l’association « Toits du Monde ». Mais encore l'église de Blaslay ou celle de Charrais, villages situés à quelques kms. Une église, une histoire : cette église, à son origine chapelle du collège de la Grand Maison dirigé par les pères de Picpus, désaffectée en 1904 après l’expulsion des congrégations enseignantes et destinée à disparaître fut réédifiée à cette place, grâce à la charité et au dévouement des nombreux amis de l’œuvre et tout spécialement des anciens élèves restés fidèles gardiens des traditions du collège disparu. Elle fut livrée au culte le 21 mai 1934 et consacrée le 2 octobre 1935 par monseigneur Mesguen, évêque de Poitiers. M. l’abbé Bressollette chargé de l’organisation de cette œuvre fut le premier curé de la nouvelle paroisse.

(Translated by Google) I revisit the churches of Poitiers when the opportunity presents itself, the confinements of 2020 are an opportunity. The history of this Saint-Paul church is touching, its creation is the result of collective work by parishioners, led by an architect, Madeleine Ursault. Saint-Paul was chosen to compensate for the forgetting of this Saint at the cathedral of Poitiers: we speak of the cathedral of Saint-Pierre when it is the cathedral of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Paul. With the church of Saint-Cyprien listed as MH and Notre Dame Du Planty in Buxerolles, this Saint-Paul church represents the contemporary sacred built heritage of the agglomeration of Poitiers (formerly called the city of a hundred bell towers). This church was born from a project carried out by an architect, still a student. Its construction was the work of local residents, supported by a few companions and professionals for the construction of the frame and the roof. Its octagonal shape is original and its bell tower rings with three bells. During my first visit, in August 2018, it was open. I was able to appreciate the stained glass slab windows by Gabriel Loire de Chartres, the Virgin and the Stations of the Cross by Claude Gruer (1923-2013). I also discovered the tapestries made between 1995 and 1997 by a group of local women, under the direction of Monique Laurenceau, and a large Spanish Christ from the 15th century. (Original) Je revisite les églises de Poitiers lorsque l'occasion se présente, les confinements de 2020 sont une occasion. L'histoire de cette église Saint-Paul est touchante, sa création résulte d'un travail collectif des paroissiens, dirigés par une architecte, Madeleine Ursault. Saint-Paul fut choisi pour compenser l'oubli qui est fait de ce Saint à la cathédrale de Poitiers : on parle de la cathédrale Saint-pierre alors qu'il s'agit de la cathédrale Saint-Pierre et Saint-Paul. Avec l'église de Saint-Cyprien classée aux M.H. et Notre Dame Du Planty à Buxerolles, cette église Saint-Paul représente le patrimoine bâti sacré contemporain de l’agglomération de Poitiers (autrefois appelée, la ville aux cent clochers). Cette église naquit du projet réalisé par une architecte, encore étudiante. Sa construction fut l'œuvre des habitants du quartier, épaulés par quelques compagnons et professionnels pour la réalisation de la charpente et de la toiture. Sa forme octogonale est originale et son clocher-mur résonne de trois cloches. Lors de ma première visite, en août 2018, elle était ouverte. J'ai pu apprécier les vitraux en dalles de verre de Gabriel Loire de Chartres, la Vierge et le chemin de croix de Claude Gruer (1923-2013). J'ai aussi découvert les tapisseries réalisées entre 1995 et 1997 par un groupe de femmes du quartier, sous la direction de Monique Laurenceau, et un grand Christ espagnol du 15ème siècle.

Very old and large church located in Poitiers. Although the interior is decorated simple, it brings your gaze up towards the wooden concave ceiling which is very differently from other churches in France. Minimally beautiful.

(Translated by Google) Abbey created in 1130, the architecture is sober to the point of austerity, a certain beauty born from this simplicity.

The municipality is investing, in 2023, a cultural space was inaugurated in the old house, restorations continue to this day in the rest of the buildings.

(Translated by Google) Poitiers is a city which has many listed and prestigious medieval churches. There are also more recent churches classified as contemporary heritage (Saint-Cyprien church) or for the frescoes of Marie Baranger (Sainte-Thérèse church and Sainte Jeanne-d’Arc des Rocs). There are also many simpler buildings in Poitiers but whose often contemporary history deserves attention. The Church of the Resurrection is pleasant and welcoming, it was built in 1984. Little or not open during the day for visits, the curious will be able to take advantage of the frequent ceremonies which take place there: Masses on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, at 5:30 p.m. and a few others on Sunday. Like that of Saint-Paul, Saint-Cyprien or the Cure of Notre Dame du Planty, these contemporary churches are worth your visit. Both the believer and the non-believer will discover comfortable and joyful places, suitable for prayer, contemplation and meditation. (Original) Poitiers est une cité qui possède de nombreuses églises médiévales, classées et prestigieuses.

Il existe aussi à Poitiers de nombreux édifices plus simples mais dont l'histoire souvent contemporaine mérite attention. L'église de la Résurrection est agréable et accueillante, elle fut bâtie en 1984. Peu ou pas ouverte dans la journée pour les visites, les curieux pourront profiter des fréquentes cérémonies qui s'y déroulent : Messes les Mardi, Jeudi, Samedi, à 17heure trente et quelques autres le dimanche. Comme celle de Saint-Paul, Saint-Cyprien ou la Cure de Notre Dame du Planty, ces églises contemporaines méritent votre visite. Le croyant comme le non croyant découvriront des lieux confortables et joyeux, propres à la prière, au recueillement et à la méditation.

(Translated by Google) Return to 2020, to a Catholic church installed in a Protestant stronghold. Since the 18th century, statistics indicate that 2/3 of the believers in Saint-Sauvant are Protestant. If the temple, built in the 19th century and inaugurated around 1836, is well displayed on the village square, the church seems to suffer from a lack of attention, even abandonment. The architectural richness of the building, classified in 1979 under the patronage of Saint-Romain (this is an error), is undeniable, but I find it poorly highlighted. The dome on squinches, under the bell tower-porch is a model of its kind, and the set of vaults is quite interesting, it covers the different architectural styles through the centuries. Artistic expression, beauty is an expression of faith in Catholic churches. Rarely built ex nihilo, they were often built on the site of places devoted to pagan cults. Romanesque architecture devotes learned calculations to capture or tame cosmic and telluric energies. 20,000 churches were built in 200 years during the first 3 centuries AD, a new sanctuary emerged from the ground every 3 to 4 days. The complexity of the techniques used to create these monuments and their beauty impress and fascinate. I wrote in 2018: An interesting history and a great need for restoration. Built in place of a very ancient sanctuary, as shown by the presence of numerous stone sarcophagi found all around the church, this Romanesque building was built in the 12th, 13th, 15th, and 16th centuries. Numerous gothic covers have greatly modified the whole. An error made it classified in the M.H. in 1979 under the patronage of Saint-Romain while all the archives stipulate that this church was under the patronage of Saint-Sylvain. Romanesque sculptures and beautiful stained glass windows are among the things to discover in this church whose general condition seems to indicate the urgent need for restoration. (Original) Retour en 2020, vers une église catholique installée dans un fief protestant. Depuis le 18ème siècle, les statistiques indiquent que 2/3 des croyants de Saint-Sauvant sont protestants. Si le temple, construit au 19ème et inauguré vers 1836, est bien mis en valeur sur la place du village, l'église semble souffrir d'un manque d'attention, voir d'abandon. La richesse architecturale de l'édifice, classé en 1979 sous le patronage de Saint-Romain (c'est une erreur), est indéniable, mais je la trouve mal mise en valeur. La coupole sur trompes, sous le clocher-porche est un modèle du genre, et l'ensemble des voûtes est tout à fait intéressant, il couvre les différents styles architecturaux à travers les siècles. L'expression artistique, la beauté est expression de la foi dans les églises catholiques. Construites rarement Ex nihilo, elles ont été bâties souvent à l'emplacement de lieux consacrés à des cultes païens. L'architecture romane consacre de savants calculs permettant de saisir ou d'apprivoiser les énergies cosmiques et telluriques. 20 000 églises furent construites en 200 ans durant les 3 premiers siècles de notre ère, un nouveau sanctuaire sortait de terre tous les 3 à 4 jours. La complexité des techniques de réalisation de ces monuments et leur beauté impressionnent et fascinent. J'avais écrit en 2018 : Une histoire intéressante et un grand besoin de restauration. Construite à la place d'un sanctuaire très ancien, comme le montre la présence de nombreux sarcophages en pierres retrouvés tout autour de l'église, cet édifice roman fut bâti aux 12ème, 13ème, 15ème, et 16ème siècles. De nombreuses reprises gothiques ont beaucoup modifié l’ensemble. Une erreur le fit classé aux M.H. en 1979 sous le patronage de Saint-Romain alors que toutes les archives stipulent que cette église était sous le patronage de Saint-Sylvain. Des sculptures romanes et de beaux vitraux font partie des choses à découvrir dans cette église dont l'état général semble indiqué l'urgence d'une restauration.

(Translated by Google) Visited on the occasion of heritage days and a conference on Protestant scouting. It was also an opportunity to discover the history of this temple, those who preceded it and the architectural concept. The signage is informative. Lighting comes from above through openings placed above neighboring buildings. The acoustics are special, the reverberation is important. This last point made the speaker's words not very comfortable to follow, it was preferable that he spoke from the pulpit. If art and beauty are expressions of faith in Catholic churches, the austerity of Protestant temples always leaves me doubtful. Chagall and other painters, stained glass artists and sculptors inspired me and allowed me to have a spiritual life, not necessarily religious, but rich and essential. For me, images are not idols but sources of joy and love. In such a place, I miss them. (Original) Visité à l'occasion des journées du patrimoine et d'une conférence sur le scoutisme protestant. Ce fut aussi l'occasion de découvrir l'histoire de ce temple, de ceux qui l'on précédé et du concept architectural. La signalétique est instructive. L'éclairage vient du haut par des ouvertures placées au dessus des immeubles voisins. L'acoustique est particulière, la réverbération est importante. Ce dernier point fit que les paroles de l'intervenant n'étaient pas très confortables à suivre, il fut préférable qu'il parle depuis la chaire. Si l'art et la beauté sont expressions de la foi dans les églises catholiques, l'austérité des temples protestant me laisse toujours dubitatif. Chagall et d'autres peintres, vitraillistes ou sculpteurs m'ont inspiré et permis d'avoir une vie spirituelle, pas forcément religieuse, mais riche et indispensable. Pour moi, les images ne sont pas des idoles mais des sources de joie et d'amour. Dans un tel lieu, elles me manquent.

(Translated by Google) A 12th century church, an apse protected by the M.H. since 1931. This well-maintained church is open and welcoming, it has the charm of village churches. Of the original building, only the apse remains, which is partly hidden to the north, by the sacristy. Listed since 1931, it is today the extension of a front choir and a nave from the 19th and 20th centuries. According to testimonies, around 1847, the church resembled a "barn" and it was urgent to plan a partial reconstruction. The nave was partially rebuilt, and it collapsed. It was then rebuilt in stages, adding three chapels. The construction site lasted several decades, the neo-Roman style used made it possible to maintain harmony and coherence in the building. The will of the parishioners and the community made it possible to preserve this charming little church. (Original) Une église du 12ème siècle, une abside protégée par les M.H. depuis 1931. Cette église bien entretenue est ouverte et accueillante, elle possède le charme des églises de village. De l'édifice primitif ne subsiste que l'abside, qui est dissimulée pour partie au Nord, par la sacristie. Inscrite depuis 1931, elle est aujourd'hui le prolongement d'un avant-chœur et d'une nef du 19ème et 20ème siècles. D'après les témoignages, vers 1847, l'église ressemblait à une "grange" et il était urgent de prévoir une reconstruction partielle. La nef est reconstruite en partie, et elle s'effondre. Elle est alors reconstruite par étape, on lui adjoint trois chapelles. Le chantier dure plusieurs décennies, le style néo roman utilisé a permis de conserver une harmonie et une cohérence à l'édifice. La volonté des paroissiens et de la collectivité a permis de préserver cette petite église charmante.
