Make sure you have enough gas in the tank, because Saintes is worth making a detour for. Located 40 miles from La Chapelle-Pouilloux, it boasts a few fabulous attractions, such as Saintes Amphitheatre and Arch of Germanicus. La Rochelle, 55 miles away, is another destination that’s worth the trek. Swing by Tour St. Nicolas and La Rochelle Hotel de Ville, two top-notch sights in the area.
