Un lieu chargé d'histoire. Un lieu parfaitement présenté par notre guide. Merci pour la préservation de notre patrimoine.

A must-see stopover. Disappointment for the visits that are on schedule and not on a regular basis, you have to go haphazardly to be able to enter. The crypt? Even rarer to see it open. PS: if you are really interested and motivated to see it, it is better to call the Tourist Office to avoid unpleasant surprises. Allee, we must not be shy, we call before putting red pOsses!

Very beautiful church absolutely having the crypt. Very beautiful emotions.

Disappointment in finding closed doors! No indication specifying the reason for this closure. So I couldn't see the choir or the famous crypt .... The exterior is majestic, it is true, with its large Gothic portal and it is a pity not to have been able to discover the interior of the Sainte-Quitterie church :-(
