ROYAN - Sainte Radegonde's church, Talmont sur Gironde. Many pilgrims from all over Europe followed the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela across the Gironde Estuary. Saint Radegonde's church was built in 1094 on the north bank at the entrance to the Estuary. It was very soon visited by pilgrims who had passed through Paris, Chartres, Orleans, Tours and Poitiers. These travellers intended either to cross the Estuary or cross the Gulf of Gascony by boat. They reached Talmont sur Gironde via Aulnay de Saintonge, Saint Jean d'Ang?ly and Saintes. Those who by-passed the Estuary went via Pons, in Haute Saintonge, to Blaye and Bordeaux Continued Below

Discover this magical site near Royan.
Sainte Radegonde's church, 16 km from Royan, is a massive building, very pure in style, bathed in the Saintongeais light. The rather squat building is dominated by a square tower. The nave, which was shortened in the XVth century, gives it an imposing silhouette. The fortifications added at the end of the Middle Ages increase the impression of strength. The transept has apse chapels built onto the blind arcade round the semi-circular apse. The arches over the doorway are decorated with angels worshipping the Pascal Lamb. Recent restoration work has been carried out to reveal acrobats, figures decorating the capitals and representations of fabulous creatures which plunge the visitor into the tangible universe of Romanesque art.

On the landward side of the church, the ramparts of the medieval citadel of Talmont sur Gironde rise from the rocky outcrop of a small peninsular.
The citadel was built in 1284, on the model of the old bastions, on the order of Edward 1st of England. He was then King of Aquitaine and reigned on the banks of the Gironde. Talmont sur Gironde occupied a strategic position at the entrance to the Estuary. The town grew in importance and the centre and surrounding area grew wealthier. Talmont sur Gironde was of strategic importance in the XVIth century and during the wars between France and England.
