Did you know this about the Pont Wilson? The Pont Wilson has a hidden story. In 1978, part of the bridge unexpectedly collapsed. Not due to a flood, but because the Loire had eroded the subsoil. Afterward, the bridge was reinforced from within. Yes, really: sections are hollow and contain inspection chambers.

This church in Tours stands out from many others with the same patronage because it houses the mortal remains of Saint Martin. While he is not an apostle, like those buried in the important churches of Rome (St. Peter's Basilica and St. Paul Outside the Walls) or Santiago de Compostela, and still venerated today, he, too, takes us far back to the beginnings of Christianity, to the fourth century. Along with Saint Nicholas (Bishop of Myra), Saint Martin is probably one of the most popular saints of all time. The feast day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous "cloak sharing," when he gave half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appeared to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later elected Bishop of Tours—initially against his will. His grave church is here, where, in addition to the major memorial day, an additional holiday is celebrated: every year on July 4th, his episcopal consecration and the transfer of his remains are commemorated.

Basilica of Saint Martin of Tours

beautiful view of the Loire on both sides, nice night light, no cars, and wide space for walking. good bridge

An emblematic monument of the city of Tours, the Saint-Martin basilica is the work of the architect Victor Laloux (to whom the city also owes the city hall and the train station). It was built from 1886 to 1902 and included on the list of historic monuments in 1946. Its plans were designed to respect the initial location of the relic located there: the tomb of Saint Martin. The building is entirely open to the public, like its crypt where the tomb rests. The end of the day is less busy and religious choirs rock the nave with soft and pleasant voices.
