Patron Saint of France

This is the church and crypt of St Martin in Tours which was visited by us and Pope John Paul II in 1996.

Tours, a city of 290,000 gets its name from the many "tours" or medieval towers that are scattered throughout the city.

We also visited St Gatien, first bult in the 4th Century and the railway station or "Gare" also dates back to the 16th Century.
