Nice abbay buildings but interior is rather plain.

Worth a visit to see the ancient sculptures and architecture that has been well and) preserved!

Yesterday, 14/07/2019 a lot of people were dancing near Abbey. It was amazing, fantastic! 'Cause the dances were folk, old like 500 years ago.

Excellent value for money in this beautiful place.

Make sure if you get an audio it is clearly explained. My audio battery ran out shortly after starting the tour. Being on a tight timeframe, I couldn't catch my wife and returned the audio and waited for my wife to finish the tour. Disappointingly, they were unwilling to provide a refund.

Lovely church with colorful stained glass and large paintings. Good for peaceful reflection.

Very nice gothic Basilique and crypt, i recommend.

Beautiful old historic church. Under restauration in the day of visiting, so no services. Don't cheat yourself of visiting the crypt underneath the church. It is literally a church beneath the church. The lower church for the Pilgrims who wanted to visit the tomb of Saint Eutrope. It's an eerie and somewhat surreal experience to walk around in there. A bonus on top is that it's nicely cool on hot days.

This Church and Crypt is CLOSED for Archaeological work.

The crypte is one of the largest ones and has a solemn atmosphere. The church itself hasn't got a lot to see

Nice place with a lot of history. They should take care of the crypt, though. It smells mildew.

Beautiful Romanesque crypt.

(Translated by Google) Every time I go there I don't have fun. The concept is great, but it is a daycare for children (minors accepted if accompanied).

The Gallo-Roman amphitheatre of Saintes is an amazing remnant of our long ago past. We rented the audio guides (available in English and French) and spent a fascinating 45 minutes immersing ourselves in history and architecture. Don't miss the photo exhibition on the outer wall; just follow the green line around to the back of the Accueil building. It shows photos of all the phases of the amphitheatre for the last 200 or 300 years. There is an ingenious picnic table to enable someone in a wheelchair to pull up under the top and enjoy a meal at a table. Brilliant idea.

A small Amphitheater with printed information in English. Very friendly staff and definitely worth a visit.

If you have watched the popular series of “Spartacus” or have read the Roman Empire’s history, this arena makes a perfect sense of how the Romans used to entertain themselves and enjoy the show while punishing the culprits. A must-visit monument in Saintes. The entry costs around €2 per visitor.

The interior was under construction and submerged in water, so I saw it from the outside. Of all the Roman amphitheaters I've seen, it was the place that felt the passage of time the most.

Cool place, only 4e to get in, cash or card. Friendly staff. Very historic place.

Interesting ruins of the oldest amphitheatre in Gallo-Romain France. Very cheap to visit, so absolutely worth it to get a sense of history. It is a quick visit on the trail through Saintes.

The construction limited what we could do to some degree, but overall the site was amazing. I can't wait to come back and see when it is all repaired!!!

Scam, just as many other reviews say. You pay for entry, but can't visit anything at all due to construction works. Views are even better from outside. This should be closed or at least free entry as long as the works are going on. Don't waste your time on this one! Honestly, renovated parts look worse than the original parts.

The construction is significant and it feels as though they're making it a bit too much like an amusement park, but hopefully when they're done there will be more education. We declined to pay and simply enjoyed from outside.

So gorgeous! The fares to get in are so cheap I couldn’t believe it and although the monument is currently undergoing reconstruction, this doesn’t take away from its impressive features and intriguing history. If you haven’t been before I would definitely recommend for all ages- definitely better on a sunny day though as a party from the cafe and gift shop all is outdoors!

Brill a couple of hrs spent looking around this romain amphitheatre. And it's renovation .eell worth the visit as there's other sites around sainte to see .

Beautiful City with a walking path that guides you through the city to see all of the Roman ruins including the amphitheatre and arches that have been here for 2000 years!

Well worth a visit, currently being restored/conserved so access is limited but still impressive.

I visited this place back in March 2019 and had a really good time. It’s fun to see the unique history that Saintes has, or of any town for that matter. While visiting, it’s fun to imagine what it might have been like to be in Saintes when the Romans first got there. Definitely walk the grounds! It’s like you are being a part of Greek Theatre!

Just sitting in front of the arch lookingbover the river and its vegetation brought me such peace. Trying to replay history and all the events that took place here. Nothing is more real than that.

Lovely ruin

Lovely location by the river. Good for a quick stop.

Saints is a wonderful city to visit. Gorgeous shopping and sights. Be aware though the restaurants mainly stop serving lunch around 2.30pm

Beautiful Roman Arch along the river. It’s a pity there’s not more on-site information on display about it’s history.

Nice place, great markets, fantastic history

Beautiful place

Beautiful place for photos! We came for the viva saintes festival and the atmosphere so so lovely- if you haven’t been to saintes before I couldn’t recommend it more- the scenery is gorgeous at all times of day. The town feels safe and everyone was so friendly!

Impressive arch and remarkable it was rebuilt in its current location, instead if on the bridge over the river, stone by stone.

Good food but long wait to be served (Sunday)... took us 2 hours to have a main at lunch time and a coffee. Perhaps needed an extra member of staff or two. Fantastic views from the terrasse.

Excellent beef but top marks for their baked potatoe. Informal and happy. 3 diffent locals all recommended this restaurant.

Possibly one of the best dining experiences in Saintes . Everything a town restaurant should be in winter...cozy, friendly and somewhere you are welcome until late. In summer, the restaurant is buzzing and a seat on the upper outside terrace allows you to watch the river and its traffic flow past the 2000 year old Arc de Germanicus.

We didn't had a reservation and asked if we can sit on the terrace upstairs as it had a nice view. Said we can from the the sever downstairs but the one upstairs was reluctant. Gave us a table but we only wanted a drink. We took an entree as well. He seemed a bit upset about it. The whole atmosphere seemed tense. A server girl walking around seemed quite rude. Been more stressed than relaxed. Too bad as the view is nice. However, my compliments to the chef. The entree was great!

Everything is perfect and fantastic. The best restaurants in the last 4 days around Bordeaux. Super good quality with high price quality Ratio.

What a great place to eat. Well worth a visit when in Saintes

Great location. Reasonably priced, quality food. Lively place even on a Sunday

Delicious lunch, lovely fresh ingredients and excellent chef. Upstairs terrace is lovely with view onto the river

The hotel has no lift. The rooms are small and very tired with bizarre decor. The chef seems to be obsessed by the look of the food and is utterly unable to provide any flavour. A tasteless dish of scallops was ruined further by the addition of citronella gel that tastes like insect repellent. Breakfast served in a basket is just ok but very limited in choices. I would never return. The indoor pool is freezing cold. I don’t have a Tesla so no reason to visit this place again. However, the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Friendly bar near station in Saints France. Live music on occasion. Food provided. Outside and inside area. Check opening times.

If you can, stay here. We booked last minute, on our return to UK. Everything was so relaxing and easy. We had tea (you won't believe the selection!) on the terrace overlooking the duck pond when we first arrived. Despite being close to our main route, the silence was perfect. The restaurant overlooks the garden, too, with all the walls on that side of the hotel being immense picture windows. Dinner was impeccable, beginning with a seasonal cocktail and the most delicious selection of amuse bouche, so thoughtfully and artistically presented. I cannot recommend the food highly enough, made all the more wonderful with the friendly, smiling service. The bed was really comfy, great shower and a perfectly private balcony again overlooking the delightful garden. Our pre-ordered breakfast choices were presented in a basket with lovely, local touches and an enormous, delicious pain au chocolate. We sat by the window and were treated to the antics of a red squirrel, a heron, ducks and a mischief of magpies. Honestly. Just stay here. Thank you to the lovely staff for making us welcome on our long journey. Allison.

Great service from helpful, friendly staff. A table in the restaurant for dinner is a real occasion, overlooking the parkland. Tesla superchargers are located in the car park with easy access from the hotel to the motorway.

Really nice place - stop here often for a supercharge…. This time decided to have 2 coffees and 2 orange juices…..26€ won’t be making that mistake again.

Watch out tesla chargers! I charged my car, saw the signs for drinks to take away. Got 2 coffees and two glasses of milk for the kids. 22 euro! Crazy. This is a trap. Cheers

Very nice hotel for stopover on way to Caen.. staff were helpful. Evening meal was a tad expensive but very nice. Breakfast also pricey but again was lovely. Setting is fantastic despite it being on a business park it is well hidden. Would definitely stay there again

Ideal for a stop over en route the Channel ports. Very close to motorway. We finished our holiday with a meal in the hotel which was very good. Swimming pool (indoor) was very inviting & grounds to stretch legs. Some quirky design features.

We've supercharged at this hotel many times. This afternoon travelling back to our place in the Vendée from Spain, we once again stopped here to charge the Tesla. We went to sit outside to order some drinks. Unfortunately we were totally ignored by the waiting staff. In fact a young man who'd been serving others actuality started cleaning the table next to us! But didn't come to us to take our order. One word really to describe it, and that's just rude! We'll be supercharging at the nearby hypermarket location in the future.

We stayed at Le Relais Du Bois Saint George for only one night. It was a fabulous find. The hotel is full of surprises once you get through the doors. We had a family room with two double beds. The bedroom was designed in two levels. There were hidden stairs to take you to the second level. Downstairs we had a huge St George on a horse on top of our bed, while upstairs there was a dragon coming out from the wall. It was an unexpected designed but beautifully done which kept us looking behind corner trying to find the next surprise for s good hour. I have only given four star for the amazing room only because the shower did not have a curtain or a door. For a family room I would have expected to see a door in the shower. But we managed well and will definitely return to the hotel. The staff were very helpful. We had an incident in the road which delayed our journey for several hours, but they kept the reception open until we arrived. We had a quick walk around through the gardens before we set off. They are beautiful too.

The staff are so helpful our car broke down while charging, we hadn’t booked and they found a lovely room for us at basic price. The a la carte menu was delicious, surprising combinations of flavors and ingredients combined with complex invigorating wines. The grounds are beautiful, well lit too and a stroll after the meal in the warm summer weather helped us forget our car issue.

Voor het opladen geweest heerlijk in de tuin gezeten. Wel duur 6 euro voor een koffie maar heerlijke plek. Zoveel beter dan een benzinestation (Translated by Google) Had a lovely sit in the garden before charging. Expensive at 6 euros for a coffee, but a lovely place. So much better than a gas station

Christmas day lunch here , there should have been 5 of us but one took ill in the morning and could not come . the reaction of the female owner was awful , cold and rude insisting that we paid ....in full for the person who was unable to come. The meal was nice but somewhat tarnished by the total lack of Christmas cheer from the owner . No fuss was made about paying for the empty place although I did ask to take away what should have been eaten at the table which I did think could be re-heated unfortunately this type of food should really be eaten freshly served , the owner would have known this and had no shame charging 46 euros , Dreadful , nice food shame about the owner , never going there again

A very nice restaurant to go to. They give you a wonderful experience. The food is excellent. The fish and meat dishes are fantastic. The saint jacques are prepared perfectly(higly recommended). Clos des Cours thank you for the great experience. We will be back. Regards Luque

Visiting friends in Saintes needed breakfast ...fantastic (Irish / English Breakfast) brunch with a Michelin star rated french twist! very very friendly atmosphere. Evening meal here was utterly delicious HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Had a great meal here with 11 friends. Very nice staff and excellent service 👍

Really enjoyed our spontaneous dinner in this local gem. Very special dishes and great service. Would definitely come back to try different options on the menu! We tried the fois gras, the veal and macarons and chocolate cake for dessert. One recommendation is to have an english menu because it can be very challenging to understand. Thanks!

Very friendly people - English Speaking - Chef / owner is very talented and creative with dishes - The have gluten free bread and cook special custom vegetarian dishes for me on my stay. The Salad on the picture, was made with Crispy-oven-baked cauliflower, dress with roasted garlic, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, almonds, in olive oil salt and spices, on a bed of greens. Very good flavor! - "Not on the menu, but special made for me " Super!

We usually have food there when stopping in Saintes as we re never disappointed by the range of dishes.

Excellent food and service. Recommended by a friend, we were not disappointed. The menu is small but this has the benefit that the food is cooked and presented to a high standard. The level of service was very good. We will certainly return.

This restaurant was about 600 meters from our Hotel F1. I got the Double Cheese hamburger which has two slices of meat and is served with a pot of fries and some salad and tomatoes. The Burger was very good and the fries were just right. The salad was fresh and tasty. My friend had enchiladas. Those are served with wraps where you put the meat and vegetables in. It was also very good. As dessert I had a Moeilleux au Chocolate which was fine but I've had better ones of those. They did put it in the oven and not in a microwave. My friend had and Irish coffee which was also fine. The biggest complaint I have and the reason I only gave it 3 stars instead of 4 was that the service was a bit chaotic. We got 2 persons serving our table instead of one (one of the 2 was in training I learned later). After our order was taken it took a while before we got our drinks (a got a bottle of perrier so that shouldn't take too long). After we finished our main meal we were asked 5 times (not joking) if we wanted dessert by the 2 different waiters. So there was no communication between them and they did not seem to understand that we just wanted to let our main course rest a bit before we got to the dessert. Normally I would think the French would get that. But if they fix those issues I would easily give it 4 stars and would certainly recommend it. The restaurant is very stylish and cozy and the staff is friendly though. FYI : If you eat or drink there for more than 20 euros you get a free entrance pass for the dancing next door.

Ok

My faux-filet was cold and burned and tasted like soap. Pizza was okay, Cheese burger was very dry and burned.

Good food, great service et confortable dining expey

Delicious no waste, innovative cooking on a chique riverboat - that doesn't rock. Great scenery / banks of the Charente river and Saintes with it's majestic 16-17thC stone buildings

Been here a few times now. Everytime great food and friendly staff. Staff can speak English which helped massively. The cost is reasonable and set with great views of the river

An amazing restaurant situated right next to a historical landmark dating back to the Roman era. The food and wine are great and the staff speak English, if (like me) your French leaves a lot to be desired. The view of the river is great. If you are looking for a typical continental lunch/dinner, I'd recommend the burger or the tuna. Conversely, if you're after a more eclectic meal, the beef tartar is mind-blowing. Definitely recommend!

The food was great, service good and location excellent

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The setting is beautiful and serene
