    The Saint-Martin de Candes collegiate church is one of the few fortified churches in Touraine.

    Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, it fascinates with its imposing singularity. In particular, we notice a very rich carved decoration which adorns its transept and its nave as well as a monumental porch, open on the north side of the building.

      Built in the 12th and 13th centuries on the site where Saint-Martin died in 397, the collegiate church was fortified in the 15th century and is one of the finest examples of Anjou Gothic architecture.
