Saint Ayoul Church, Gothic church in Provins, France

The rectangular Saint Ayoul Church features a cloister, three chapels, and a chapter house within its structural layout, marking its origins as a priory.

The church's history began in 996 with the discovery of Saint Ayoul relics, leading Count Thibaut I of Champagne to expand the structure in the 11th century.

The chapter hall of Saint Ayoul Church served as a gathering space where monks assembled daily to discuss tasks and listen to readings from religious texts.

Visitors can explore Saint Ayoul Church on the first weekend of each month between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, with audio guides available in multiple languages.

The church contains an organ from 1777 and an altarpiece by Pierre Blasset from the 17th century, along with numerous statues and paintings throughout the interior.
