Vendome is a commune in the Centre region of France. Vendome is the capital of the arrondissement of Vendome in the Loir-et-Cher department, of which it is a sub-prefecture. It has a tribunal of first instance. Vendome is located 22 miles (35 km) northwest of the city of Blois and 40 minutes from Paris by TGV train. The town lies on the Loir River, which here divides into numerous arms intersecting the town.
On the south, it is overlooked by an eminence on which stand ruins of the castle of the counts of Vendome. The abbey-church of the Holy Trinity has a fine facade in the florid Gothic style. Abbey buildings of various periods lie round the church.
Other remarkable monuments are: the old gate, the Porte Saint-Georges; its river front is composed of two large crenelated and machicolated towers, connected by a pavilion, and the ancient hospital of Saint-Jacques that afterwards became a college of the Oratorians, then a lycee for boys and that is now occupied by the town administration offices.
