The name of Saint-Christophe, to whom this church in the village, which also bears his name, is dedicated, translates as "Christ-bearer." According to the saint's legend, he was a giant man who carried people across a river. One day, a small child called to him, and he carried it on his shoulders to the other bank. Amazingly, the child became heavier and heavier, and he said he felt as if the weight of the entire world were resting on his shoulders. Then the child revealed himself to him as Jesus Christ, Savior and Redeemer of the world.

https://www.abbatialedeguitres.fr The church of Guîtres is an abbey church; it is therefore the church of an abbey of monks (Benedictine). This abbey, of which only a few traces remain, is said to have been built by Grimoard and Raymond de Fronsac, sons of Hermengarde de Rochechouard, towards the end of the 11th century (between 1060 and 1080). The abbey of Guîtres was therefore dependent on that of Fronsac. The Romanesque style, which dominates the eastern part of the church, is proof that it was shortly after the year 1000 that it began to rise to the picturesque height where we can admire it today. In the Isle Valley, on a hillside where there were three fountains famous even at the time of the Romans (from which the name Guîtres is said to have originated), the Benedictines from Fleury-sur-Loire and Cluny laid the first stone of their abbey on the site of a chapel burned by the Normans. Their work lasted until the 15th century.

You drive downhill from the forest on a good road surface directly towards the castle. A great sight that is also worthwhile when approaching from the other direction. There is also a café at the foot of the château. Unfortunately you are sitting directly on / on the street.

I love the mood just before sunset. The sandstones of the houses reflect the red of the sun and everything gathers for the coming evening. Exactly this feeling came up with the small church and the square in front of it.

Culture and playground side by side. Also ideal for a family outing, as the roads are hardly used even in the main season.

This one, you don't expect to find out, no matter which side of the road you arrive on. Well hidden by the relief and vegetation, it only reveals at the last moment, straight from medieval dreams. Do not forget the 12th century Romanesque church at its feet.
