Saintes Public Garden

Highlight • Natural

Located in the heart of the city, the public garden is a place of life for the residents of Saintais, to be discovered by walkers. The kiosk, the orangery, the animals or the games. The park was designed in 1925 on the banks of the Charente and forms the connection between the city and the Palu.

Musical Carousel

Highlight • Structure

Set in a poetic fairground universe, the carousel is an extraordinary hands-on carousel that utilizes the senses of touch, hearing and sight. Under a dome of silver mirrors are giant digital musical instruments: a harp, percussion, keyboards and even vocal cords. Participants choose an instrument with which they would like to experiment, and as the carousel spins, they collectively create a score that is played in a grand final performance.

Abbaye aux Dames de Saintes

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbaye-aux-Dames is built around the church of Sainte-Marie, built in the twelfth century. Famous for its facade and its characteristic "pinecone" bell tower, it is one of the emblematic monuments of Saintonge's Romanesque art.
After several wars and fires, the place was restored in the 1970s and 1980s and is now a hotel.
When you walk through the long corridors you feel like you have been transported back to the time when the abbey was still alive.
