Saintes
City of Art and History…
During your stay at Camping La Boulinière, we invite you to discover Saintes, with its rich historical heritage dating back to Roman times.
Today, Saintes preserves the remains of a prestigious Roman city. The Musée Archéologique de Saintes (Saintes Archaeological Museum) is home to numerous artefacts recovered during archaeological digs. You can also visit the Musée de l’Echevinage, home to some 100 works dating from the 15th to the 20th century, and the Musée Dupuy-Mestreau, with its rich collections of regional art.
