You can stroll by the arches on a walk around the city, stopping by all the ancient sites, beautiful churches, the park, bakeries and more. I recommend make a big walking loop around the Abby, arch, churches and amphitheater! Then wander aimlessly snacking along the way.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés par hasard dans cette brasserie un Dimanche midi à Saintes sur la route de la Bretagne. L'établissement se trouve sur les bords de la Charente face à un superbe arc de triomphe gallo-romain. Le patron nous a expliqué qu'il ne faisait pas de cuisine mais qu'avec un traiteur local il proposait des plats servis dans des boîtes en bois accompagnés de salade. Nous avons choisi un parmentier de canard qui s'est avéré bon, et pour accompagner notre verre de muscadet, une délicieuse saucisse sèche locale. Pour finir une gaufre Nutella chantilly. Les prix sont très abordables. Une petite réserve cependant pour le patron qui a fait une leçon de morale malvenue à un client visiblement en etat de faiblesse.

Just sitting in front of the arch lookingbover the river and its vegetation brought me such peace. Trying to replay history and all the events that took place here. Nothing is more real than that.

The joy of visiting a new city in France. There are still Roman ruins. You can see Saint Peter's Cathedral of Saintes behind you. It's Easter time but you can hear a lot of motorcycle noise.
