메리니 최고의 러닝 경로

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 truly 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

A little piece of green gold

UNESCO world heritage site.

This imposing and striking rock, seemingly out of place, is today a famous sport climbing site, with a height of 28 meters; it is not for the faint of heart.

This magnificent abbey on the banks of the Gartempe is a national treasure. More than 400m2 of ceiling are covered with frescoes, painted in the 11th and 12th centuries making it a picture book of biblical scenes located 17 meters above the ground. André Malraux, who was Minister of Culture at the time of General de Gaulle, had nicknamed him "the Roman Sixtine". The Abbey of Saint Savin has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1983 for its outstanding universal value. It is also positioned as the starting point of the Valley of the frescoes.
