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.

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.

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