ベルネイ＝サン＝マルタンでののおすすめグラベルライド

In the Middle Ages, Tonnay-Boutonne was a fortified town of which today only one vestige remains: the Porte Saint-Pierre, named after the parish. Two other gates also existed, and the small city also had a port, a lock and a mill. At the heart of the ramparts stood a keep 20m high and 13m side with walls 3m thick. But it was razed in 1839 by the last owner who sold the stones to pay his debts, and the rubble was spread all around raising the level of the streets by 1.50 to 2m and filling the cellars of the village.

The church of the village of Vandré dates from the 13th century, the ced5 of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic.

The Romanesque Église Saint-Pierre de Puyrolland is situated on the outskirts of town on a hill, from where you have a wonderful view over the surrounding countryside.

The Porte Saint-Pierre is a well-preserved city gate from the 14th century.
