Church of St. Julien

Tours, France

This 13th century church was built on the site of an earlier building – a church dating from the 6th century. An austere exterior masks a gothic interior that does not have the ornate grandeur of the Cathedral St Gatien but is still imposing.

Last visit was to see and hear 2 chorals, one local the second from California. Great show. The church itself is worth the visit if you are into churches and/or Tours.

Beautiful ancien look church (i love how it looks ancien, not fixed or covered with new material). But too pitty there is a new style (look like a train station) in front of this architect which damaged all the atmosphere. Don't know who decided to put that ugly building next to such a beautiful ancien thing which is supposed to be valued and maintained the look of history ???

Quite interesting church, going all the way to the VI century! Unfortunately, it’s closed due to covid restrictions.
