An interesting case the Saint-Silvain de Levroux, to which Radulf of Deols donated those of
his men and women (and their heirs) who had assembled "in porticu" of the church to be healed
from "ignis sancti Silvani" (c. 1072 according to the editor).

Little to do with the cathedral.

South of the place, partly built over the Seine.
