VIA Le Douhet

Your walk begins at the Saint-Martial church, a magnificent 12th-century building. Along the way, admire the length of the walls of the Douhet castle, a 17th-century building listed as a Historic Monument. Make a stop at the large washhouse, directly connected to the Gallo-Roman aqueduct that winds beneath the castle gardens. Your adventure will lead you to the fascinating point of interest on the route, the natural spring of the Grand-Font, which fed the aqueduct in Roman times, also classified as a Historic Monument.
This fascinating site illustrates the ingenuity of the ancients, with its underground galleries designed to carry water to Saintes. Throughout the route, enjoy a peaceful setting, punctuated by fountains and remains of the Aqueduct, illustrating the strong connection between water and the territory.
