Saintes

I underpassed the "Pont Bernard-Palissy", that actually replaced a Roman bridge (destroyed in 1879) a few meters dowstream. Walking up the stairs to the street level, I saw the "Arc de Germanicus", that marked the end of my walk. In medieval times the pilgrim would probably would have continued to the tomb of Saint-Eutrope. Instead I turned left - and visited the Abbaye aux Dames. I had stayed here twice before, but this time it was fully booked...
