Hiking Charente-Maritime

This short walk takes you to the discovery of the emblematic monuments of the city of Saintes. To get in the bath immediately, start your journey by the arenas. Dating back to the year 40 after Jesus Christ, this Gallo-Roman amphitheatre is the best preserved of the Atlantic coast, perhaps even Europe. At the time, it could accommodate up to 15 000 spectators! Then go to the Romanesque church of Saint-Europe, before you head to the Emperor's house, where you expect a magnificent view of the city and its river.

A simple itinerary and a very flat route: This is what the grass walkers like, especially as the walk is adorned with the pleasant spectacle of herons, which you will see very closely. At the start of the Saint-Laurent-de-la-Prée car park, hire yourself on the big straight line of the lifting of the Reverseaux. You will follow it until its end, before turning right on a path along the edge of the Charente. You see the ferry bridge of Rochefort. At the end, turn right again: The asphalt road will take you first to Lower Roche and then to High Roche, before you get back to your starting point.
