The Saintes-La Rochelle route crosses the heart of Charente-Maritime, combining millennial heritage with an exceptional Atlantic coast. Saintes, ancient Mediolanum Santonum, was the first capital of Roman Aquitaine — its Arch of Germanicus (AD 18-19) and amphitheatre for 15,000 spectators are among the best-preserved Roman remains in western France. The Abbaye aux Dames (1047) is a Romanesque masterpiece. En route, you pass near Rochefort's Arsenal. La Rochelle enchants with its Old Port, medieval towers, world-class aquarium and access to Île de Ré.
