At the Abbey of Saint-Savin, a sight you'll never tire of awaits: the Gartempe River flowing gently past the ancient stone walls, and the medieval Pont de Saint-Savin spanning the river, with the abbey in the background. A magnificent view! The combination of water, bridge, and Romanesque architecture makes this a perfect oasis. Take a moment to sit on the banks.

Magnificent abbey with its frescoes from the Romanesque period

The abbey dedicated to Saint Savin must once have been so important that it gave the whole place its name.

The abbey is inscribed on the Unesco World Heritage List due to its comprehensive and well-preserved collection of Romanesque wall paintings. It is worth visiting just for that. The abbey site has been occupied since at least the 9th century.
