Discover Melle

Melle is a small town that preserves an exceptional Romanesque heritage, making it an essential cultural stop on the Via Touraine. The locality boasts three magnificent Romanesque churches: Saint-Hilaire (World Heritage Site), Saint-Pierre and Saint-Savinien. Its wealth during the Middle Ages was due to Carolingian silver mines of the time, which can be visited today. For pilgrims, Melle is an artistic delight and a haven of peace. Its historic center, services, and tranquil atmosphere make it the perfect final leg for immersing oneself in the beauty and spirituality of Romanesque art.
