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.

“Death would gladly walk through the realm of joy, He would gladly press his hand on flowery brows. In ashes tomorrow and torn garments, With bowed head, the memory of joy will be a reproach and a pain to us. Our games are followed by funeral processions; For us Saturnalia can be the cradle, Woe to us! of songs of the dead alone!” Text: Victor HUGO, (1802 – 1885): “Ode sur la mort du duc de Berry” (1820)
