Saintes, a more than two thousand old town of the Charente region, boasts a stunning heritage. Travel back to antique times by visiting the Germanicus Arch, the Saint-Saloine baths or the amphitheatre, which could host up to 15 000 spectators. If you are fascinated by the middle-ages, go to the dames de Saintes abbey where an exhibition will give you all the details of the history of this extraordinary place. On board a "gabare", a river boat with a flat hull, go back in time and discover the history of Charente.
