Guided tour of the Abbey of Vendôme | Office de Tourisme de Vendôme

The Trinity Abbey

Surprising by its imposing architecture, at first glance,
the Abbey of the Trinity looks like a small cathedral.
Founded by Count Geoffroy Martel in 1033, this Benedictine abbey is a remarkable example of flamboyant Gothic art which deserves a detour in the Loire valley.
