Poitiers - Ste Radegonde

In Poitiers, on the east side of the town is the little church of Ste-Radegonde, built in the 11th C. on the site of an earlier church (destroyed in 877) containing the tomb of the town's patron saint. The crypt, the choir and part of the west tower date from the 11th C., the nave and west doorway from the 13th- 15th C. The ambulatory has beautiful capitals with human and animal figures.
