It is said that the light of Saintonge inhabits the landscape.
In the heart of the areas surrounding Cognac, Pineau des Charentes and Roman art, the beautiful town of Saintes boasts an exceptional heritage and a glorious past: Gallo-Roman amphitheatre, Arch of Germanicus, Les Dames Abbey, Church of St. Eutropius... Nearby, the Charente, La Seugne, Coran and Arnoult Valleys offer a variety of natural recreation areas where no leisure thrills are barred. Between Gironde and Vendee, vineyards and rolling hills, the golden stone houses of Charente illuminate the landscape. A bit further beyond, the ocean, of course... plus beaches, carrelets (coastline sentinels), La Rochelle, Marennes and its oysters, the isles of Oléron, Ré, Royan, Rochefort... And Vendée to the north.
