A thousand-year-old bell still tolls above the narrow lanes of Saintes, keeping secrets that shaped a kingdom. Beneath the carved arches and stately stones, tales of rebellion, intrigue, and artistic scandal wait to be uncovered.

Set out on a self-guided audio tour through this storied city. Sidestep the ordinary and unlock corners where most visitors never wander. Every turn brings legends out of the shadows.

What plot at the Cathedral of Saint-Pierre threatened the fate of crown and clergy? Who vanished behind the Abbey of the Dames’s silent walls, leaving only whispers and rumor? Why did a simple courtroom in Justice ignite one of Charente-Maritime’s oddest legal feuds?

Move through sun-dappled cloisters and along cobbled squares. Each step weaves a thrilling tapestry of power struggles, artistic vision, and buried truths. Experience Saintes as a living drama.
