Stop #3 on Chinon’s Historic Town Walking Trail
Eglise Saint Etienne的点评
点评：The medieval Church of St Étienne is stop #3 on Chinon’s ‘Historic Town Walk’.
We picked up a free map of the trail from the local Tourist Information Centre. The whole walk only takes about an hour (if you’re speedy, you could do it in much less).
St Étienne’s was open and, like all of the churches, it was free to enter.
It's only a brief stop, but there are some lovely stained glass windows biblical scenes as well as other scenes from local history. One scene depicts the 6th century meeting of St Radegonde and the hermit, St Jean de Chinon. Later we walked up to see the cave-like chapel where they actually met.
The ornate pulpit with its carved wooden staircase also caught my eye. If you stop to take a look, you’ll see a winged dragon with a ridged back and a long tongue curling itself around the first post of the handrail.
The most prominent feature inside the church is the large marble state of Joan of Arc, located near the entrance on the left. You can't visit Chinon without tripping over references to Joan because Chinon was where she famously met Charles VII in 1429. The sculpture here shows her bare-legged, wearing a simple tunic dress, with a sword by her side. It was interesting to compare this to the aggressively warrior-like statue at Place Jeanne d’Arc. In contrast that state shows her as a fierce warrior, in full armour and riding her horse over the bodies of her enemies.

翻译：圣艾蒂安中世纪教堂是希农“历史小镇漫步”路线的第三站。
我们从当地的游客信息中心领取了一份免费的路线图。全程大约需要一个小时（如果您走得快，时间会更短）。
圣艾蒂安教堂对外开放，和其他所有教堂一样，都是免费参观的。
虽然只是短暂的停留，但教堂里有一些精美的彩色玻璃窗，描绘了圣经故事以及其他当地历史场景。其中一幅描绘了公元6世纪圣拉德贡德与隐士圣让·德·希农的相遇。之后，我们步行前往参观了他们相遇的洞穴式小教堂。
装饰华丽的讲坛及其雕花木楼梯也吸引了我的目光。如果您驻足观看，会发现一条背脊隆起、长着长舌的飞龙正缠绕在扶手的第一根柱子上。
教堂内最引人注目的景致是位于左侧入口附近的圣女贞德大理石雕像。来到希农，处处都能看到与贞德相关的痕迹，因为1429年，她正是在这里与查理七世会面。这座雕像展现了她赤裸双腿，身着简朴的束腰长袍，腰间佩剑的形象。将其与圣女贞德广场上那尊气势汹汹的女战士雕像进行对比，颇为有趣。广场上的雕像则展现了她身披全副盔甲、骑着战马驰骋于敌人尸体之上的英勇形象。
