History
Here allegedly
It was later reduced to ruins by the Normans; in anticipation of the disaster the relics of the saint were transferred to the abbey of Fosses (afterwards Saint-Maur-des-Fossés). Saint-Maur-sur-Loire was afterwards restored and fortified; the extant remains consist of a part of the church (12th and 17th centuries) and buildings of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Saint-Maur was an independent commune until 1840, when it became part of Saint-Georges-des-Sept-Voies. In 1873, it became part of Le Thoureil,[1] which was merged into Gennes-Val-de-Loire in 2016.[2]
