Abbaye de Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe

Let's explore the Abbey of Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe. It is one of 45 French heritages classified as World Heritage by UNESCO.

Roman paintings

Located in the Vienne department of New Aquitaine, it is known for its perfectly well-preserved Romanesque murals, unique in Europe.

The murals only represent Old Testament scenes from the first two books of the Pentateuch: Genesis and Exodus. And read like a big book.
