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.

A very pleasant path that runs along the Gartempe, under the woods

Lots of nice gravel paths here but not known in Komoot yet. Eik try to make a few highlights every time I visit this part of France.

Magnificent abbey with its frescoes from the Romanesque period

The Beissat Bridge is a 13th century Gothic structure, listed as a historical monument by decree of 23 November 1970. The oldest mention of this bridge is the allusion to a transaction in 1470 relating to neighbouring mills. A toll on this bridge, probably in force for a long time, was closed in 1660. The structure formerly linked Bellac to Le Dorat. It consists of four arches, the middle one being semicircular and the other three being pointed arches. The piers are very wide and the profile is humpbacked. The spurs have a very sharp acute angle. In 1567, Monsieur de La Messelière's company broke the bridge to stop the Huguenot army. It was certainly at this time that the semicircular arch was rebuilt.

UNESCO world heritage site.

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.
