It is an absolutely beautiful village.

Small town with a special charm along the Charente.

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 Saint-Savinien church is a Romanesque style building built between the 12th and 13th centuries. The current sanctuary succeeds an ancient priory, cited in a charter of 1039, of which no vestige remains. The adjoining square is pleasantly decorated with statutes representing the apostles.

Labeled “Small town of character”, but also “Village of stones and water” (an expression which describes this village very well), Saint-Savinien-sur-Charente is a small picturesque village in the Saintonge Romane nestled in a meander of the Charente, nestled between the river and a limestone cliff. The town is remarkable for its houses built right on the water on the banks of the Charente, its district of troglodyte dwellings in the heights, some of which date back to the Gallo-Roman era, its river port, its old buildings and its churches, including the magnificent Romanesque church dating from the 13th century.

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

In this small town, you can admire the Saint-Pierre gate dating from the Middle Ages. Alongside the buildings that bear witness to the importance of the city over the centuries, Tonnay-Boutonne has remarkable natural spaces. The banks of the Boutonne are an invitation to walk and relax.

With less than 200 inhabitants, Fenioux is one of the least densely populated municipalities in France. The main attraction is undoubtedly the 12th century Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church, a Saintonge Romanesque style church, built on even older ruins.
