Be sure to have enough gas in the tank, because Saintes is worth a detour. Situated 55 miles from Pamproux, it boasts some terrific attractions, such as Saintes Amphitheatre and Arch of Germanicus. Get set to rack up those miles, because Tour St. Nicolas and La Rochelle Hotel de Ville are also worth a day trip. You’ll find these well-known sights in La Rochelle, 55 miles away.
