Saintes
City of Art and History...
During your stay at Camping La Boulinière, we invite you to discover Saintes, and its rich historical heritage dating back to Roman times.
Saintes preserves today the vestiges of a prestigious Roman city. You can discover many objects found during archaeological excavations at the Archaeological Museum of Saintes. You can also visit the Musée de l'Echevinage, which houses a hundred or so works of art dating from the 15th to the 20th century, and the Musée Dupuy-Mestreau, which has rich collections of regional art.
Saintes also has an important religious heritage with several architectural monuments such as the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre, the Church of Saint-Eutrope, the Abbaye-aux-Dames, the Church of Saint-Pallais, the Protestant Temple and the Church of Saint-Vivien.
Just a stone's throw from the centre of Saintes, the National Stud, a listed site in the heart of a 10-hectare wooded park, invites you to discover a national architectural, cultural and living heritage inherited from the 19th century.
Numerous leisure and water sports activities are available in Saintes to keep you entertained: Aquarelle aquatic centre, canoe hire, go-karting, Louis Rouyer-Guillet municipal golf course...
You can also admire Saintes from the Bernard Palissy cruise ship, which offers a breathtaking view of the riverbanks. Day cruises with lunch are available, as well as simple 2.5-hour river trips.
Saintes is 1h15 from Camping La Boulinière.
