Blois-Vienne Church, Roman Catholic church in Vienne district, Blois, France

Saint-Saturnin Church stands on the Loire River's left bank, featuring late Flamboyant Gothic architecture with Renaissance portal elements.

The original 11th-century structure was replaced around 1500 under Queen Anne of Brittany's patronage, incorporating new architectural elements.

The Loire River boatmen funded the Saint Peter Chapel in 1528, demonstrating their economic influence on the church's development.

The religious building stands at 13 Munier Street, with access through bus lines A and D stopping at Allies station.

The adjacent Saint-Saturnin cemetery galleries from the 16th century display carved dance of death scenes on their capitals.
