Monument
Saintes
The main monument of this Roman town is the Arch of Germanicus. It marked the main entrance to the Roman town in front of the bridge which crossed the Charente river. Dedicated to the Emperor Tiberius, Drusus and Germanicus, it was built by a noble santon by the name of Caius Julius Rufus around 18-19 A.D.; it was scheduled for demolition in 1843, but it was saved through the intervention of Prosper Mérimée, thanks to whom the arch was dismantled then reassembled in Place Bassompierre.
Monument
Chaniers
One of the curiosities of this town is the maintaining of a ferryboat, both for pedestrian and vehicular crossings; one of the rare few still in operation, along with the one in Dompierre.
