Its 12th-century Romanesque bell tower, 80 meters high and isolated from the rest of the building, is an architectural curiosity unique in France. Its flamboyant Gothic fa\u00e7ade is considered one of the finest examples of this delicate late medieval art. Last but not least, it houses some exceptional stained-glass windows, including the famous 12th-century Vierge de Vend\u00f4me, renowned for the remarkable intensity of its blue color.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-PPvZ9Jv\/0\/L3Zw4VvpDNnB7jdJftRDLwJ6v8nS6sBCQ7D5Sxx9V\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-16-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-PPvZ9Jv\/0\/L3Zw4VvpDNnB7jdJftRDLwJ6v8nS6sBCQ7D5Sxx9V\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-16-L.jpg\" alt=\"Eglise Abbatiale de la Trinit&#xE9; - Why it's famous\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-PPvZ9Jv\/0\/L3Zw4VvpDNnB7jdJftRDLwJ6v8nS6sBCQ7D5Sxx9V\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-16-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-5\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-PPvZ9Jv\/0\/L3Zw4VvpDNnB7jdJftRDLwJ6v8nS6sBCQ7D5Sxx9V\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-16-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our favorite<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If there's one detail not to be missed in the choir, it's the <strong>32 wooden stalls<\/strong> (16 on each side).

Don't forget to explain to them the curiosity of the isolated bell tower.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-fKTHCx2\/0\/LGDwhfdXThZxwWzbqVmPFzvXdg6rqHJzHw2pBG6Wb\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-15-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-fKTHCx2\/0\/LGDwhfdXThZxwWzbqVmPFzvXdg6rqHJzHw2pBG6Wb\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-15-L.jpg\" alt=\"&#xC9;glise Abbatiale de la Trinit&#xE9; - Family tours\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-fKTHCx2\/0\/LGDwhfdXThZxwWzbqVmPFzvXdg6rqHJzHw2pBG6Wb\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-15-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-14\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-fKTHCx2\/0\/LGDwhfdXThZxwWzbqVmPFzvXdg6rqHJzHw2pBG6Wb\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-15-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedules and rates<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The church is generally open every day.

The delicate western fa\u00e7ade literally took our breath away. We saw a real work of stone lace, of extraordinary finesse. Take time to observe the central portal: the details of the sculptures are surgically precise and awe-inspiring. Every figure, every leaf, every decorative motif bears witness to the exceptional skills of late medieval craftsmen. You'll notice the intricate pointed arches and gables adorned with fleurons that characterize the flamboyant Gothic style. This fa\u00e7ade is one of the finest examples of this delicate art in France. We recommend stepping back to appreciate the composition as a whole, before moving closer to capture all the details.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-bfSm49h\/0\/M5PMLmXdvNpRF3xxKtZL5hW2qbNW2bV2CQPC8d345\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-03-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-bfSm49h\/0\/M5PMLmXdvNpRF3xxKtZL5hW2qbNW2bV2CQPC8d345\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-03-L.jpg\" alt=\"&#xC9;glise Abbatiale de la Trinit&#xE9; - The flamboyant Gothic fa&#xE7;ade\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-bfSm49h\/0\/M5PMLmXdvNpRF3xxKtZL5hW2qbNW2bV2CQPC8d345\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-03-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-16\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-bfSm49h\/0\/M5PMLmXdvNpRF3xxKtZL5hW2qbNW2bV2CQPC8d345\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-03-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The \"isolated\" Romanesque bell tower<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the Vend\u00f4me curiosity that particularly intrigued us! This 12th-century bell tower stands proudly beside the church without touching it, creating a unique configuration in France. At 80 metres high, it towers majestically over the cityscape. We were struck by the perfect balance of its Romanesque architecture, which contrasts harmoniously with the Gothic of the main church. The proportions of this tower are remarkable: each level is perfectly designed to create a progressive, elegant elevation. You'll notice the round-arched openings typical of the Romanesque period, which multiply as you go up, visually lightening the structure. This separation between the bell tower and the church bears witness to an architectural evolution spanning several centuries. Walk around the building to admire this masterpiece of Romanesque architecture from different angles.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-7tbL5n8\/0\/NFV5STv4H8rFfGh5xQRzT4wdRTpJjRWWLHx8jgqwK\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-02-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-7tbL5n8\/0\/NFV5STv4H8rFfGh5xQRzT4wdRTpJjRWWLHx8jgqwK\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-02-L.jpg\" alt=\"&#xC9;glise Abbatiale de la Trinit&#xE9; - The isolated Romanesque bell tower\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-7tbL5n8\/0\/NFV5STv4H8rFfGh5xQRzT4wdRTpJjRWWLHx8jgqwK\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-02-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-17\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-7tbL5n8\/0\/NFV5STv4H8rFfGh5xQRzT4wdRTpJjRWWLHx8jgqwK\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-02-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The choir stalls and the misericords<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside the church, we were captivated by the carved wooden choir stalls. These seats reserved for monks are true works of art. Don't miss out on these little supports under the flip-up seats! We discovered a treasure trove of humor and mischief: scenes of medieval daily life carved with astonishing precision. You'll see characters in funny situations, fantastic animals and scenes of farm work. These details, often hidden from view, reveal the unbridled creativity of medieval craftsmen. Each mercy tells a little story, testifying to ordinary life at the time of its realization. Take the time to stoop down and observe them one by one: you're in for a real trip back in time. The state of preservation of these wooden sculptures is remarkable considering their age.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-ZVXnBXk\/0\/MztBqcsW9GPGMzwcPv2XrqKfN8dXS8vk7B9qMn42R\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-09-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-ZVXnBXk\/0\/MztBqcsW9GPGMzwcPv2XrqKfN8dXS8vk7B9qMn42R\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-09-L.jpg\" alt=\"&#xC9;glise Abbatiale de la Trinit&#xE9; - The choir stalls and the misericords\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-ZVXnBXk\/0\/MztBqcsW9GPGMzwcPv2XrqKfN8dXS8vk7B9qMn42R\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-09-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-18\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-ZVXnBXk\/0\/MztBqcsW9GPGMzwcPv2XrqKfN8dXS8vk7B9qMn42R\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-09-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The stained glass windows and the Vierge de Vend\u00f4me<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The abbey is bathed in a colorful light thanks to its ancient stained glass windows, which amazed us. We were particularly struck by the atmosphere created when the sun's rays shine through these centuries-old works of art. Look out for the 12th-century Vierge de Vend\u00f4me, one of the few surviving representations of this period with such an intensity of blue. This color, obtained using ancient techniques now lost, has a depth that seems to defy time. You'll be captivated by the Virgin's gentle expression and the delicacy of her facial features. The church's other stained glass windows depict biblical scenes and the lives of saints with fascinating iconographic richness. We recommend that you visit the church at different times of the day to appreciate the variations in light that sublimate these ancient stained glass windows in an ever-renewed way.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><div class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-host wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover\"><a class=\"wpcp-wp-lightbox-image-link\" href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-9kjmSnB\/0\/NFNbWfgPGc9bvFxtxzz8dz4nNTpg88CXSg5pdFT9r\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-06-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-wp-lb-image=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-9kjmSnB\/0\/NFNbWfgPGc9bvFxtxzz8dz4nNTpg88CXSg5pdFT9r\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-06-L.jpg\" alt=\"&#xC9;glise Abbatiale de la Trinit&#xE9; - The stained glass windows and the Virgin of Vend&#xF4;me\"\/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-9kjmSnB\/0\/NFNbWfgPGc9bvFxtxzz8dz4nNTpg88CXSg5pdFT9r\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-06-L.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"wpcp-wp-wpcp-wp-19\" class=\"wpcp-lightbox-trigger wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon wpcp-position-top-right wpcp-advanced-image-lightbox-icon-hover wpcp-global-lightbox-icon wpcp-lightbox-icon--global wpcp-lb-icon-style-default\" data-wpcp-lb-icon-source=\"global\" aria-label=\"Open image in lightbox\" data-thumb-src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Vallee-loire\/n-XkSzNF\/Cath&#xE9;drales-et-abbayes\/Abbaye-Trinite-Vend&#xF4;me\/i-9kjmSnB\/0\/NFNbWfgPGc9bvFxtxzz8dz4nNTpg88CXSg5pdFT9r\/L\/abbaye-trinite-vendome-06-L.jpg\" data-wpcp-lb-single=\"1\"><span class=\"wpcp-icon-container\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\"><path d=\"M17.6585 16.025L14.2437 12.6198C15.1716 11.3338 15.6121 9.7613 15.4871 8.1819C15.362 6.60251 14.6795 5.11847 13.5607 3.99351C12.936 3.36206 12.1916 2.86066 11.3709 2.51845C10.5502 2.17623 9.66952 2 8.77995 2C7.89039 2 7.00969 2.17623 6.18899 2.51845C5.36829 2.86066 4.62395 3.36206 3.99919 3.99351C3.36594 4.61649 2.86312 5.35871 2.51992 6.17708C2.17673 6.99545 2 7.87365 2 8.76068C2 9.64772 2.17673 10.5259 2.51992 11.3443C2.86312 12.1627 3.36594 12.9049 3.99919 13.5279C5.11957 14.6901 6.62279 15.4103 8.23285 15.5562C9.84291 15.7022 11.4517 15.2641 12.7639 14.3224L16.1788 17.7275C16.3849 17.9034 16.6473 18 16.9186 18C17.1899 18 17.4523 17.9034 17.6585 17.7275C18.1138 17.16 18.1138 16.5925 17.6585 16.025ZM5.59278 12.0523C5.16258 11.6298 4.82094 11.1263 4.58774 10.5709C4.35455 10.0156 4.23446 9.41951 4.23446 8.81744C4.23446 8.21536 4.35455 7.6193 4.58774 7.06394C4.82094 6.50859 5.16258 6.00503 5.59278 5.58257C6.01644 5.15359 6.52144 4.81292 7.07838 4.58039C7.63532 4.34786 8.23308 4.22811 8.83687 4.22811C9.44066 4.22811 10.0384 4.34786 10.5954 4.58039C11.1523 4.81292 11.6573 5.15359 12.081 5.58257C12.5112 6.00503 12.8528 6.50859 13.086 7.06394C13.3192 7.6193 13.4393 8.21536 13.4393 8.81744C13.4393 9.41951 13.3192 10.0156 13.086 10.5709C12.8528 11.1263 12.5112 11.6298 12.081 12.0523C11.6573 12.4813 11.1523 12.822 10.5954 13.0545C10.0384 13.287 9.44066 13.4068 8.83687 13.4068C8.23308 13.4068 7.63532 13.287 7.07838 13.0545C6.52144 12.822 6.01644 12.4813 5.59278 12.0523Z\" \/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cloister<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cloister of the abbey offered us a particularly appreciated moment of tranquillity.

The central garden, simple but well-tended, invites contemplation. Here, you can observe the details of the carved capitals and imagine the monastic life that once took place here. It's the ideal place to take a break after exploring the church, to let the impressions created by the artistic richness of the place decant.
