Chaniers에 있는 La Baine 유적지는 현재의 제분소보다 훨씬 이전의 것입니다. 14세기: 최초의 기록된 제분소 1310년 날짜의 문서는 La Baine에 직물 제분소가 있었다고 언급합니다. 이 제분소들은 강바닥에 박힌 기둥 위에 세워졌으며 특히 직물을 두드리는 데 사용되었습니다. 이 제분소들은 당시 Saintes 대성당의 학장과 사제단에 속해 있었습니다. 몇 년 전 Marche 백작에 의해 파괴되었습니다. 1313년에 사제단은 두 개의 제분소, 둑, 어장을 재건할 허가를 받았습니다. 17세기: 콜베르의 왕립 제분소 La Baine이 상당한 중요성을 띠게 된 것은 17세기에 이르러서였습니다. 5개의 곡물 제분소 단지가 샤랑트 강의 항해에 사용되지 않던 지류에 재건되었습니다. 1630년경, 제분소들은 실질적인 소유권을 가진 Charles와 Jacques Duval 형제에게 속해 있었고, Chaniers의 영지는 Saint-Pierre de Saintes 대성당 사제단에 속해 있었습니다. 그 후 루이 14세의 장관이자 해군 국무장관이었던 Jean-Baptiste Colbert가 등장합니다. 1670년경 Colbert는 생산 능력을 크게 늘리기 위해 제분소를 개조하고 확장했습니다. 새로운 단지는 7개의 수로를 갖추고 당시 이 지역에서 가장 강력한 제분소 중 하나가 되었습니다. Colbert는 왜 La Baine에 관심을 가졌을까요? 그 이유는 Rochefort 군수기지의 건설 및 개발과 직접적으로 관련이 있습니다. 제분소는 주로 왕립 해군의 선원들의 식량으로 사용될 밀과 보리 가루를 생산했습니다. 곡물은 샤랑트 강을 통해 바지선으로 운송되었습니다. 제분소에 짐을 내린 후, 바지선은 특히 Rochefort로 향할 밀가루를 싣고 떠났습니다. 따라서 La Baine 제분소는 샤랑트 강과 Rochefort를 중심으로 조직된 실제 왕립 산업 및 물류 시스템의 일부였습니다. 19세기: 점진적인 변화 19세기에도 제분업은 계속되었습니다. 오래된 제분소들은 점차 실제 산업 시설로 변모했습니다. 1845년에는 5명의 다른 제분업자들이 이 유적지를 운영했습니다. 1897년부터 Lardy 씨가 이 단지를 점진적으로 통합하여 시설을 현대화하고 기계를 도입했습니다. 그의 아들 Rémy Lardy가 그 뒤를 이었습니다. 20세기: 산업용 제분소 1930년대에 이 제분소는 실제 산업용 제분소로 발전했습니다. 하루 약 50 퀸탈의 밀을 처리할 수 있는 용량이었습니다. 1936년에는 직경 약 5미터의 여러 개의 수차에서 수력 에너지를 공급받았습니다. 총 취수량은 약 4미터였고 낙차는 1.50미터였습니다. 시설에는 특히 다음이 포함되었습니다: 2개의 이중 분쇄기; 1개의 이중 컨버터; 1쌍의 맷돌; 1개의 플랜시스터; 5개의 체. 제분업은 20세기 중반에 최종적으로 중단되었으며, 산업 활동의 중단 시점은 제분소인지 완전한 제분업 활동의 소멸인지에 따라 1940-1960년경으로 추정됩니다. 오늘날 건물은 보존되어 레스토랑으로 개조되었으며, 특히 수차와 오래된 기계 장치의 일부 등 산업 유산의 주목할 만한 요소들을 유지하고 있습니다. Moulin de la Baine은 현재 샤랑트 강 바로 위에 있는 17610 Chaniers, 14 rue Colbert에 위치해 있습니다. 특히 흥미로운 지점 제분소, 둑, 수문은 분리할 수 없는 역사적 전체를 형성합니다. 그러나 현재의 둑은 현대적인 변형을 거쳤습니다. 2012년의 현장 명령은 특히 Moulin de La Baine의 수력 구조물을 D급 댐으로 분류합니다.

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 Abbaye-aux-Dames is built around the church of Sainte-Marie, built in the twelfth century. Famous for its facade and its characteristic "pinecone" bell tower, it is one of the emblematic monuments of Saintonge's Romanesque art. After several wars and fires, the place was restored in the 1970s and 1980s and is now a hotel. When you walk through the long corridors you feel like you have been transported back to the time when the abbey was still alive.

A former Benedictine abbey created in 1047, Abbaye-aux-Dames was the first women's monastery in Saintonge. These powerful women were nuns, that is to say, nuns living cloistered and having taken a vow of piety, occupying their lives in contemplation. They carried the crosier, in other words the pastoral staff of a bishop, and minted coins. Richly endowed, the abbey carried its influence well beyond the borders of the county and over time it became one of the most powerful women's monasteries in all of South-West France. With up to a hundred nuns at its peak, it was entrusted with the mission of instructing young girls, often from the French nobility, and counted among its most illustrious residents the future Marquise de Montespan, favorite of Louis XIV. The Abbaye-aux-Dames is structured around the Sainte-Marie church, built in the 12th century, famous for its facade and its characteristic “pine cone” bell tower. The premises were restored during the 1970s and 1980s and now house a Cité de la musique in which the Saintes Festival dedicated to classical music takes place each year. You can also stay in a wing of the building, the cells having been converted into hotel rooms, and leave your bike in a secure room.

The Garde-Épée dolmen is classified as a historic monument. It is made up of five slabs which delimit the room and slabs which cover it. The dolmen is five meters long and more than two meters high.

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.

Located on a rocky spur overlooking the Charente, Taillebourg has one of the oldest castles in the province of Saintonge. It was also one of the most important in the region in the Middle Ages. This stronghold will allow the city to assert its power and prosper thanks to its port and control of trade throughout the Middle Ages. According to a chronicler, the Château de Taillebourg hosted the wedding night of Louis, future king of France under the name Louis VII, with Duchess Eleanor of Aquitaine. Louis IX (future Saint Louis) made the castle his fortress to launch the attack against the King of England, Henry III. This victorious battle of July 21, 1242 became famous and was represented several centuries later by Delacroix, whose painting can be seen in the Battles gallery at the Palace of Versailles. The castle which had endured all the sieges during the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion was taken and destroyed during the Fronde in 1652. During the Revolution, it was sold in lots as national property. Having suffered from lack of maintenance, the building was the victim of a fire in 1822 and was largely destroyed. All that remains now are the ruins with the ramparts and a tower standing like an emaciated being. It now houses a park which is a haven of peace. To access it from the banks of the Charente, you have to take a small detour through the town.

Built in the 11th and 12th centuries, this church, listed as a historic monument in 1912, is a spectacular work of art. Well worth the drive past when crossing town!
