Beautiful old historic church. Under restauration in the day of visiting, so no services. Don't cheat yourself of visiting the crypt underneath the church. It is literally a church beneath the church. The lower church for the Pilgrims who wanted to visit the tomb of Saint Eutrope. It's an eerie and somewhat surreal experience to walk around in there. A bonus on top is that it's nicely cool...

A beautiful basilica for the first saint in Saintes, Eutrope! I liked visiting this place because it gave me a deeper appreciation for the history that has made Saintes the town it is today. It’s amazing that this structure has lasted for so long! It is a little muggy feeling but it is not unbearable. I definitely hope that this structure will continue to...

Véritable chef d’œuvre de l’Art Roman du XIIème siècle, l’Eglise Saint-Eutrope (ou Basilique Saint-Eutrope) de Saintes étonne d’abord par son architecture extérieure. La hauteur de son clocher gothique flamboyant, culmine à plus de 80 mètres et domine la capitale de la Saintonge Romane.

Tout aussi étonnant, la Basilique Funéraire, également appelée la Crypte. Cette partie est la plus ancienne de l’édifice. Les dimensions de la crypte en font l‘une des plus vastes cryptes romanes d’Europe. Sa longueur totale est ainsi de 35 mètres de long pour une hauteur sous voûte de 5 mètres. Les 53 chapiteaux essentiellement ornés de compositions végétales (palmettes, acanthes, rinceaux…) défilent sous les yeux et nous replongent à l’époque du XIe siècle.

L’Église Saint-Eutrope de Saintes est un joyau de l’art roman qui ne laisse pas insensible ses visiteurs. C’est également une étape sur le chemin de Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. Elle est d’ailleurs à ce titre classée au Patrimoine Mondial de l’UNESCO depuis 1998.

L’Eglise Saint-Eutrope est également classée aux Monuments Historiques par...

Preciosa, junto con una cripta absolutamente recomendable. Es uno de los monumentos más destacados de la ciudad de Saintes. Esta iglesia del siglo XI es un centro de peregrinación dedicado al obispo San Eutropio. La originalidad de la arquitectura de este santuario se explica al ser uno de los puntos más importantes del Camino de Santiago. Dispone de una nave única y dos presbiterios superpuestos. Esta distribución permitía dar cobijo a los peregrinos y seguir el culto al mismo tiempo. Sus capiteles están grabados con pasajes de historias y su campanario alcanza los 65 metros de altura. La cripta de escasa iluminación, (ya que se encuentra debajo de la iglesia), contrasta radicalmente con la del edificio superior.
