🏛️ 건설 : 서기 18-19년 이 아치는 티베리우스 황제 통치 시기인 서기 18-19년경에 건설되었습니다. 이 아치는 리옹과 생트를 연결하던 비아 아그리파의 입구에 있던 로마 다리의 입구에 위치했습니다. 따라서 이 아치는 진정한 의미의 "개선문"이 아닙니다. 로마 아키텐의 수도였던 메디올라눔 산토눔의 입구를 표시하는 도로 기념물이자 기념비적인 문이었습니다. 👤 누가 건설을 의뢰했는가? 이 아치는 로마화된 산토니족의 유력자였던 가이우스 율리우스 루푸스가 자금을 지원했습니다. 그는 이 아치를 티베리우스와 그의 조카 게르마니쿠스에게 헌정했습니다. 상인방에 새겨진 비문은 오늘날에도 이 아치가 헌정된 인물들을 알 수 있게 해줍니다. "게르마니쿠스 개선문"이라는 이름은 게르마니쿠스가 개인적으로 아치를 건설하거나 통과했다는 사실 때문이 아니라, 이 헌정 때문에 붙여진 것입니다. 🏗️ 상당히 특별한 기념물 이 아치에는 두 개의 통로가 있어 통행 흐름을 구분했을 것으로 보입니다. 높이는 약 15m, 너비는 16m입니다. 코린트 양식과 복합 양식의 주두는 특히 세심한 로마 건축을 증언합니다. 이것은 생트의 힘과 로마화의 진정한 과시였습니다. ⚠️ 아치가 사라질 뻔했던 순간 아마도 이것이 이 아치 역사상 가장 흥미로운 에피소드일 것입니다. 수세기 동안 아치는 항상 로마 다리, 그리고 중세 다리가 있던 샤랑트 강 우안에 위치했습니다. 19세기에는 오래된 다리가 노후화되었습니다. 1843년경 다리를 철거하기로 결정되었을 때, 아치도 파괴될 위기에 처했습니다. 이때 역사 기념물 총감이었던 프로스페르 메리메가 개입했습니다. 그는 보존을 주장하고 아치를 해체, 이전, 재조립하여 새로운 강둑에 설치하도록 했습니다. 이 보존과 관련된 또 다른 인물은 빅토르 위고입니다. 그는 1843년 9월 생트에 머물면서 메리메에게 기념물 보존을 위해 개입했습니다. 📍 왜 아치가 원래 위치에 정확히 있지 않은가? 오늘날 바송피에르 광장에서 볼 수 있는 아치는 원래 위치에 더 이상 있지 않습니다. 제방의 변형과 옛 다리의 철거 과정에서 수십 미터 이동되었습니다. 보존을 위해 돌 하나하나 해체하여 재조립했습니다. 오늘날 이 아치는 옛 로마 다리 통로 바로 근처에 위치해 있습니다. 🏛️ 보호 게르마니쿠스 개선문은 결국 1905년 7월 역사 기념물로 지정되었습니다. 흥미로운 추가 정보 생트 근처에 위치한 크라잔 채석장은 이 지역의 고대 건축물에 널리 사용된 석회암을 공급했습니다. 크라잔 석회암은 특히 게르마니쿠스 개선문과 같은 기념물에 사용되었습니다. 요약: 18-19년 → 로마 다리 입구에 아치 건설 ↓ 고대 → 중세 → 아치는 샤랑트 강 횡단과 계속 연관됨 ↓ 1843년 → 옛 다리 철거 및 아치 위협 ↓ 1843-1844년 → 메리메의 개입 및 아치 이전 ↓ 1905년 → 역사 기념물 지정

beautiful passages along the Charente with pretty monuments and small waterfront cafés in Port d’Envaux and Saintes.

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

Notre Dame de Nazareth Middle School is a private Catholic school under a state partnership agreement...and on a human scale, with 142 students and seven classes (two sixth-form, two fifth-form, one fourth-form, and two ninth-form), whose main focuses are student support and monitoring, valuing all achievements, and welcoming all. Depending on the families' schedules and needs, two statuses exist at Notre Dame de Nazareth Middle School: - Status 1: Children enter and exit NDN according to the school's hours: 8:55 a.m. - 5:10 p.m. They cannot enter later or leave earlier. - Status 2: Children can enter and leave the school at the first and last class times on their schedule. They have the option of entering later and leaving earlier than the school's hours, particularly in the event of a teacher's absence during the first and/or last class times of the day. 1865 The school was founded by three nuns from the Congregation of the Holy Family of Bordeaux at the "Château" in Sorlut. 1873 The sisters purchased land on the Route de Talmont in the hope of constructing a building there. 1875 The Château de Sorlut was put up for sale, and the school was relocated near the church on Rue Traversière. 1878 The building on the Route de Talmont was constructed, and the school was relocated there. 1902-1905 Despite the new secularization laws, the sisters continued their mission. 1914 The Red Cross flag flew over the school. 1923 The house was put up for sale by the estates.

This vast building was originally owned by the Augustinian Abbey of Saint-Étienne de Mortagne (now defunct). Built beginning in the 13th century, the current church was supplemented with a flat chevet pierced by a triplet in the following century. The bell tower, set on a powerful square stump, extends into an octagonal floor, built in the 15th century. At that time, it housed seven bells. As in many parishes in the region, the bells of Cozes were taken down and taken to Royan Castle in 1548 as punishment for ringing the alarm bells of revolt during the Pitauds Jacquerie. The nave vaults collapsed in 1756 and were economically rebuilt in the 19th century. The five bays of the nave are covered with a very simple basket-handle ceiling, while the side chapels, on either side of the choir, are covered with groin vaults. The church has retained its 13th-century capitals with plant or historiated motifs, and part of its exterior ornamentation (cords, frieze, small columns, and an allusion to Aesop's fable, The Fox and the Stork). The façade contrasts sharply with the rest of the building. Neoclassical in inspiration, with its triangular pediment, it was redone in the 19th century. The furnishings include elements from all periods. The church nevertheless retains an 18th-century pulpit. Assembled by a cabinetmaker from Burie, it was intended for the Sainte-Colombe church in Saintes. It was later sold to the parish priest of Cozes. In 2000, the stained-glass windows were restored. An access ramp was installed for the disabled. Until the winter of 1862-1863, the church was surrounded by a cemetery. It was moved to La Grande Herbaude, and the square surrounding the church was then The area was leveled and planted with trees. In 1877, five bells were reinstalled. The bell tower houses a peal of five swinging bells, cast in 1877 by the Guillaume d'Angers foundry: Claire-Louise: F3 - approximately 950 kilos, Marie-Thérèse: A3 - approximately 450 kilos, Marie-Louise: C4 - approximately 250 kilos, Louise-Georgette: F4 - approximately 100 kilos, Marie-Madelaine: A4 - approximately 50 kilos. This peal is exceptional for several reasons. Peals composed of five bells are very rare in the Charente-Maritime department: there are fewer than five. It is rare for four or more bells to be cast simultaneously. Often, over time, one bell is recast, another is added, and often the different bells do not come from the same foundry. In Cozes, the five bells were cast together by a single founder. This is the only case in Charente-Maritime. Since these bells were cast at the same time, this guarantees the same homogeneity of the metal and therefore a much better sound when the five bells chime together. They form the perfect chord of F major.

The project: Save the medieval church of Cozes Support this restoration project for the Saint-Pierre church in Cozes, built from the 12th century onwards. Listed as a historic monument, this building is in a worrying state of preservation. In 2018, the building, which was suffering from a sagging roof and water infiltration, was closed; the rehabilitation work, estimated at €2.5 million, will have to be spread over several years. In 2020, the church was one of twelve sites in Nouvelle-Aquitaine selected to benefit from the Heritage Lottery and will receive €140,000 from Stéphane Bern's Heritage Mission. A first round of urgent work on the south aisle took place in 2020-2021. Thanks to donations, this initial preservation work has raised over €61,000. A second phase of work will begin in September 2024 for the restoration of the bell tower and staircase turret. "I am delighted to welcome you back for our sponsorship campaign for the restoration of the Saint-Pierre de Cozes church. Since 2020, your generosity has enabled significant progress in the preservation of this historic monument. Thanks to the support of over 200 donors (individuals, local and national businesses, foundations, etc.), we have achieved exceptional work together. After the first urgent phase of work carried out in 2020-2021 on the south aisle, we must now focus our efforts on the second and third phases of work relating to the exterior restoration of the bell tower and staircase turret." This work, estimated to last approximately 18 months, starting in September 2024, requires a total budget of €1,017,500. Our goal is to raise €100,000 in donations to supplement local government grants and ensure the completion of this crucial work. I would also like to acknowledge the ephemeral works of art that have marked our sponsorship campaign: beach art by Jben, the Elise Bachour concert, the ice sculpture by the Lopez confectionery, and many other initiatives have attracted an ever-growing audience. The 7th grade students from Les Vielles Vignes middle school in Cozes also joined our cause: each of them created a drawing inspired by the fable of the Fox and the Stork to illustrate our fundraising campaign, and they created a large collective mural on the wall of their middle school, thus demonstrating their commitment to our heritage. As a local business, your participation is of paramount importance. By supporting our project, you strengthen your corporate social responsibility (CSR) and your civic image while developing a meaningful partnership with the municipality of Cozes. Join us in this noble adventure that contributes to the preservation of our heritage, the local economy, and the attractiveness of our region! With my sincere thanks. Grazielle Bordage Mayor of Cozes

Parish church dedicated to Saint Lawrence, built in the 12th century. It opens with a semicircular doorway with three archivolts resting on sculpted capitals that have lost their columns. The doorway was narrowed by two jambs and an archivolt with prismatic moldings from the 15th or 16th century. The corners of the facade are each buttressed by a group of three large engaged columns, surmounted from the first entablature by five smaller columns bearing capitals decorated with vegetal motifs. Above the first entablature is a row of seven ogival openings, the columns of which have disappeared. A pediment with two ramps from the 17th century. Its facade is very interesting. A deep and vast portal with four arches occupies the entire ground floor. The archivolts are decorated with geometric motifs. On the first floor, a beautiful Romanesque arcading unfolds its seven arches supported by slender columns. A blunt gable pierced by a semicircular window and crossed by a cornice supported by modifications completes it. The square bell tower is placed along the north wall. It is adorned, between the first and second entablatures, on the west and north faces, with three arcading. Above the second entablature, it takes an octagonal shape supported by a sloped section. Amputated of its upper part, it has retained from the 12th century only its base, its square first floor with false semicircular windows, and its staircase tower is also square. The octagonal second floor, with its pointed roof, was rebuilt in the 17th century. The nave has three bays separated by strong half-engaged columns, but only the left wall survives from the original building. It is pierced by three undecorated Romanesque splayed windows; the semicircular vault is made of lightweight materials. A few Romanesque arches frame the false square, which, through a wide bay on the left, connects to the base of the bell tower. This space, covered by an octagonal dome on squinches, forms a porch. The apse with a straight wall, vaulted like the preceding bay and the nave, is lit by three modern bare windows. To the left, a slightly broken bay opens onto a rectangular chapel that follows the porch located under the bell tower. This chapel, also with a flat chevet, is lit by an axial window, unsculpted on the interior but beautifully decorated on the exterior. The church of Saint-Simon de Pellouaille suffered severe attacks during the Wars of Religion, attacks attested by traces of fire still visible at the base of the bell tower. In the 16th century, it lost its south wall, its apse, and the crown of its bell tower. In the nave, one can see a well-made painting and a curious stone font. Near the south wall, eight ancient burials were discovered at the beginning of the present century. The church was listed as a Historic Monument on September 19, 1923.
