At Saintes, an historical place and a cultural center
Founded in 1047, this abbey was the first convent in the Saintes area. In the 17th century, two fires destroyed part of it. Completely restored, the abbey is today a major cultural centre welcoming exhibitions and the “Festival des Academies musicales”.
