Medieval city of Pons

A magnificent city where the stones tell more than a thousand years of history. Browse Pons from top to bottom. Discover the winding streets, the ramparts overlooking the Seugne and the religious buildings inherited from the pilgrims of the Way of St Jacques.

Approaching Pons, it is majestic, the keep proudly presents its attractions to visitors on the highest point of the city.
Take advantage of your stage to climb it, the tourist office is there and will give you the best ways to explore the city.

At the foot of the keep, the magnificent French garden is the setting for the residences of the Sires de Pons. Surrounded by ramparts, a myriad of alleys and stairs invite visitors to get lost in the heart of the city.

Lower down, the St Vivien district, its Romanesque church and then the pilgrims' hospital give the measure of the importance of Pons as a stage on the Way of St Jacques de Compostela, on the way from Tours to Santiago de Compostela.

The Seugne river flows gently over the flanks of the town and in summer offers a refreshing course under the century-old trees. The Pons leisure center is one of the most popular leisure and meal stops on the Royan road. An extended stay will also be fun thanks to the Castle of Enigmas...
