A country tells its story through its detours

An episode from the series 100 PLACES TO SEE

Synopsis

From Poitiers to Tours, the Saint Martin route follows the path of a bishop who became a legend.

The journey, from Ligugé, Gaul's first monastery, to Candes-Saint-Martin, where the saint passed away, reveals a little-known chapter of medieval Christianity.

Along the Via Sancti Martini, castles and abbeys tell the story of a rich past rooted in European history.
