Saint-Étienne Church of Brives-sur-Charente
Highlight • Religious Site
The Saint-Étienne church in Brives-sur-Charente is recent. It was consecrated in 1868 and reflects the 14th-century Gothic style. It replaced an older church, of which only a baptismal font, listed as a historic object in 1922, and a capital remain. This font, square and made of a single block of siliceous limestone, is a rare specimen of 12th-century sculpture and symbolism. Certain characteristic features, such as the draperies, allow it to be dated to the 1150s. On three sides, we discover the Annunciation made to Mary, then on the main face of the font, Christ officiating in heaven, and finally Christ descending into hell, savior of souls.

Abbaye aux Dames de Saintes
Highlight • Religious Site
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.
