샤니에르(Chaniers)의 체인 페리(Le bac à chaînes de Chaniers)는 프랑스에서 운행 중인 마지막 전통적인 강 페리 중 하나입니다. 생트(Saintes)에서 몇 킬로미터 하류에 있는 샤니에르와 쿠르쿠리(Courcoury) 사이의 샤랑트 강을 건널 수 있게 해줍니다. 수세기 동안 사용된 나루터 샤니에르 페리의 역사 샤니에르의 페리 나루터는 매우 오래되었습니다. 중세 시대로 거슬러 올라갑니다. 17세기 중반에는 이미 샤랑트 강에서 중요한 통행 지점이었습니다. 강을 건너는 데만 사용된 것이 아니라, 주민들이 특히 농업 활동을 위해 강 건너편 초지에 접근할 수 있도록 해주었습니다. 20세기 초, 샤니에르 페리는 샤랑트 강에 있는 훨씬 더 큰 규모의 나루터 네트워크의 일부였습니다. 1909년, 샤랑트-인페리외르(Charente-Inférieure)에는 샤니에르를 포함하여 13개의 페리가 여전히 기록되었습니다. 페리는 다리가 많아지기 전에는 필수적이었습니다. 왜 "체인" 페리라고 불리는 이유? 원리는 두 강둑을 연결하는 체인 위에 페리를 유지하는 것입니다. 뱃사공은 이 체인을 사용하여 배를 움직이고 물살에도 불구하고 경로를 유지합니다. 샤니에르의 현재 페리는 동력식인 반면, 도피에르-쉬르-샤랑트(Dompierre-sur-Charente)의 페리는 수동으로 조작됩니다. 그러나 관광청은 여전히 이를 "체인 페리"라고 설명하고 있으며, 지자체는 샤니에르와 쿠르쿠리를 연결하는 전통적인 통행 수단으로 설명하고 있습니다. 오늘날의 페리 샤니에르의 르 코뮈날(Le Communal)과 쿠르쿠리 강둑 사이에서 운행됩니다. 무료이며 보행자, 자전거 이용자, 동력 차량을 수송할 수 있습니다. 운행은 특히 샤랑트 강의 유량에 따라 달라집니다. 샤니에르 지자체는 공식적으로 "샤니에르 항구와 그 체인 페리"를 지역 유산의 일부로 소개하고 있습니다. 중요 사항: 이전 메시지를 수정합니다. 샤니에르 페리는 단순히 "19세기" 페리가 아닙니다. 이 나루터는 중세 시대부터 증명되었으며, 수세기에 걸쳐 운행 방식과 장비가 발전해 왔습니다.

Courcoury is a natural island surrounded by the Charente and Seugne rivers, giving it a unique landscape setting between marshes and waterways, conducive to biodiversity and outdoor activities. It is also the only village in Charente-Maritime to have been awarded 4 stars by the "Villes et villages étoilés" label, recognizing its efforts to reduce light pollution through intelligent and environmentally friendly public lighting.

The Gallo-Roman amphitheater of Sainte, also called the Arena of Saintes, is an elliptical monument built between 40 and 50 AD, probably during the reigns of Tiberius and Claudius. It measures approximately 126 meters by 102 meters and could accommodate between 12,000 and 15,000 spectators, making it one of the largest and oldest amphitheaters in Gaul. Located in a natural valley called the "Arènes valley," it takes advantage of the topography to limit construction work, with stands backing onto the hill. The site has two monumental gates, the "Gate of the Living" to the east and the "Gate of the Dead" to the west, and has been the subject of a major restoration project since 2021 to preserve this exceptional heritage. Accessible on foot from the city center, it offers an immersion in Roman history with an educational trail and activities for families

I really enjoyed this ride. I’m 46, I did it on a 40 year old road bike, it’s more suited to a cyclocross bike!

It is an absolutely beautiful village.

Small town with a special charm along the Charente.

The Basilica of Saint-Eutrope de Saintes is a true masterpiece of Romanesque art and amazes with its two superimposed choirs and its crypt, one of the largest in Europe.

The Santons people occupied Saintonge during the Gallic era. The Romans conquered the region and settled on the banks of the Charente. The town of Saintes (then designated Mediolanum), located at the western end of the Via Agrippa which linked Lyon (capital of the Three Gauls) to the Atlantic coast, quickly became monumental. At the time of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD), the city probably became the capital of the province of Greater Aquitaine (Aquitania). This then extended from the Loire to the Pyrenees. Mediolanum is endowed with important public monuments: the amphitheater, the arch of Germanicus, the thermal baths and the aqueduct are still partially visible today. At the time of its peak (end of the 1st century – beginning of the 2nd century), the city must have had several thousand inhabitants. The amphitheater of Mediolanum is one of the earliest in Gaul. It is estimated that its construction began during the reign of Tiberius (14 – 37 AD), and was completed during the reign of Claudius (41 – 54 AD). Like many amphitheaters of the Roman Empire, that of Saintes was located on the outskirts of the ancient city in a chosen and developed site: the “vallon des Arènes”. Thanks to a favorable topography, the builders were relieved of part of their work, the amphitheater resting on the slope of the valley. This elliptical monument, with imposing dimensions (126 meters long and 102 meters wide), made it possible to accommodate several thousand spectators around bloody and violent representations such as gladiator fights (munera) or animal hunts (venationes ). In the 3rd century, the city declined and was entrenched within an impressive rampart, built from the remains of public and funerary monuments from previous decades. The amphitheater is then no longer used. Since the Middle Ages, it has been used, among other things, as a stone quarry. It was classified as a Historic Monument in 1840. It was from this moment that it was gradually restored. Today, despite the disappearance of the superstructures, the remains provide a faithful image of what this monument could have been at the time of its splendor. The site welcomes visitors all year round. Certain objects found during various excavations in the amphitheater district are visible at the archaeological museum.
