or Saintes accommodation? Saintes is a city in south-western France. Saintes is located on the banks of the Charente River, between La Rochelle and Bordeaux. Saintes is a busy town dating from Roman times, and probably was a celtic town before that. The Roman ruins can still be seen in the town, and its highlight being the Arena, an early amphitheatre to the west of the town in a beautiful wooded spot. Attraction for you to see and explore while in Saintes are the Cathédrale St Pierre; the Saint-Eutrope Church in Saintes; the Arch of Germanicus that is a triumphal arch, which was built at the entrance to a bridge; the relics of the Roman amphitheatre can be found on the left bank of the Charente River; the bits and pieces of the thermae of Saint-Saloine are also visible, in particular an aqueduct; the fragments of the 3rd century rampart can be seen in the Place des Récollets. It was built with stones taken from the Roman buildings; the Abbaye-aux-Dames; the Basilique Saint-Eutrope and the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre; the Musée Archéologique, which owns a Roman cart of the 1st century amongst a collection of sculptures and inscriptions; the Musée du Présidial, which has a mannerist architecture and a collection of regional ceramics and paintings of the 15th to 18th century and the Musée de l'Échevinage, which exhibits porcelain of Sèvres and paintings of the 19th and 20th century.
