This week on France Bleu la Rochelle, Jean-Luc Portes takes us on a discovery of good summer plans to do with all his tribe in the city of Saintes in Charente-Maritime with a first stop on the heights of the city in the guinguette de la graine d’orge run by Jean-Luc Chaigneau in a monumental setting

Another asset of the city, and always with a view to cooling off, the Charente river which crosses the city and on which you can board the barge “city of Saintes” for a river trip commented by the guides of the tourist Office
– City of Saintes
After the effort, comfort; What could be better than a good siesta…sound offered by the Abbaye aux Dames both in the cloister but also on Place Bassompierre comfortably installed in deckchairs and equipped with binaural sound headphones (which restores the natural listening), you can listen to the emblematic concerts of the Festival de Saintes
– Abbey of the Ladies of Saintes
Finally, another essential part of your holidays in Saintes is a cruise on the omnipresent Charente aboard a boat that is unique in Europe; The “Bernard Palissy 3”, an electro-solar boat that will allow you to appreciate the fauna and flora along the river in the most absolute calm.
