Abbaye aux Dames is just one of the landmarks located 0.5 mi (0.8 km) from central Saintes, so you might want to stop by for a few pics during your trip.
You might want to play some rounds at Saintes Golf, located 0.5 mi (0.8 km) from central Saintes. If Saintes Golf doesn't quite scratch your golfing itch, Golf Louis Rouyer-Guillet is also nearby.
