Le Mans - Notre Dame
|
|
In Le Mans, southeast of the Place de la République is the former abbey church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Couture, which was originally built in the 10th C. but was given its present aspect in the 13th and 14th centuries. The west front, which is preceded by a porch, has a richly carved doorway. The church contains tapestries and pictures, including (on right) "Elijah's Dream" by Philippe de Champaigne.
