Tips
Like many amphitheaters in the Roman Empire, that of Saintes was built on the outskirts of the city in a place now called "Vallon des Arènes" (Little Valley of the Amphitheater). The LTS builders took advantage of the local topography to build part of the amphitheater.
Today, despite the disappearance of its superstructure, the remains give a very good idea of what this amphitheater looked like in its heyday. The site is now open to visitors all year round.translated by
