Historic Centre of Saintes

Highlight • Historical Site

With origins dating back to the Gallo-Roman era, the town of Saintes accumulates sites and monuments like so many layers of a centuries-old history. From the banks of the Charente to the height of the Capitol, there is so much to see along the streets of the city: the Germanicus arch, the thermal baths, the Saint Pierre cathedral, the Jacobins convent, the Musée de l'Echevinage , the Saint Eutrope Basilica, the footbridge over the Charente, etc. The heritage is omnipresent and offers many surprises and viewpoints.

Abbaye aux Dames de Saintes

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbaye-aux-Dames is built around the church of Sainte-Marie, built in the twelfth century. Famous for its facade and its characteristic "pinecone" bell tower, it is one of the emblematic monuments of Saintonge's Romanesque art.
After several wars and fires, the place was restored in the 1970s and 1980s and is now a hotel.
When you walk through the long corridors you feel like you have been transported back to the time when the abbey was still alive.
