Charente River
The river winds through the town in a smooth arc, splitting it into two banks linked by bridges and bordered by open meadows that flood in wet seasons.

The map
About this Saintes map poster
Saintes was founded by the Romans as Mediolanum Santonum, at the end of a Roman road from Lyon, and the map still carries traces of that past. The Charente River curves through the town, dividing the old centre with its cathedral on the west bank from the quarter around the Abbaye aux Dames on the east. Bridges tie the two sides together at close intervals.
The Arch of Germanicus, built in the first century, once stood at the entrance of a Roman bridge and was moved to the east bank in the nineteenth century when the bridge was demolished. To the west, the amphitheatre sits in a natural hollow, its elliptical outline still visible among the surrounding streets and gardens.
Beyond the historic core, the town spreads over low hills and down to the river's floodplain, where open meadows follow the Charente. A Saintes map poster brings together these layers: the curve of the water, the tight medieval streets of the old centre and the Roman shapes that have outlasted nearly two thousand years.

Roman amphitheatre
Set in a small valley west of the centre, the elliptical arena is clearly visible on the map, surrounded by the curving streets that grew up around it.
Arch of Germanicus
The relocated Roman arch stands on the east bank near the river, a small but significant point on the map that recalls the town's ancient crossing.
