The church got erected within the 11th and 12 century on a little hill overlooking the Loire. Inside the hill once lived a dragon, who terrorised the villagers. Legends tell, that Saint-Mesmin killed the beast - and the grateful inhabitants built a church over the dragon´s cave. Here is the nave of Saint-Mesmin.
