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.

Saint Saturnin of Séchaud

Highlight • Other

Charming little town remarkable for its church, having undergone numerous alterations including its facade, but the oldest part of which dates back to the beginning of the 12th century; and by its castle of the provostship.
You will notice that the weather vane of its bell tower is a French flag. Indeed, under the 2nd Republic (1848-1852), a patriotic impulse resulted, with the agreement of the religious authorities, in the installation of flags on the bell towers of the churches. The St Saturnin church is one of the rare towns in the department to have kept this symbol.

Crazannes Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built in the 14th century, the Château de Crazannes is listed as a Historic Monument. It belonged to the Comte de Caravaz, Jules Gouffier, who inspired Perrault for the creation of the master of Puss in Boots, the Marquis de Carabas. A rereading of the tale is essential before visiting the castle and its magnificent garden!

Saint-Savinien Church and Statues of the Apostles

Highlight • Religious Site

Magnificent panorama from the forecourt of the church which has been adorned with statues of the 12 apostles in front of the entrance to the church, as well as two others representing children playing. A little further along the quays there are other statues. These modern creations are the work of Cédric Hénnion, a local sculptor who marvelously married a more modern style in an older setting. This young talent knows how to work both in grandiose settings like this one and in more intimate and personal atmospheres with an equally excellent talent. A real feast for the eyes where the old and the modern come together to the delight of walkers.

Saint-Savinien-sur-Charente

Highlight • Other

Labeled “Small town of character”, but also “Village of stones and water” (an expression which describes this village very well), Saint-Savinien-sur-Charente is a small picturesque village in the Saintonge Romane nestled in a meander of the Charente, nestled between the river and a limestone cliff. The town is remarkable for its houses built right on the water on the banks of the Charente, its district of troglodyte dwellings in the heights, some of which date back to the Gallo-Roman era, its river port, its old buildings and its churches, including the magnificent Romanesque church dating from the 13th century.
