SAINT-SAVINIAN CHURCH

It is one of the places not to be missed in this pretty village of the Saintonge Dorée which also offers a delightful view of the roofs of the districts and the river against which the city is nestled. Built between the ^12th and ^13th centuries in local stone, the monument offers a mixture of Gothic and Romanesque styles. Damaged during the Hundred Years War, the church is distinguished by the sobriety of its facade which consists of a large portal with five arches framed by two blind bays. The place is magnificent, as much for its architecture as for its belvedere.
