Breuillet

Considered one of the jewels of Breuillet, the Saint-Vivien church is a fine example of Saintonge Romanesque art. Mentioned from the 12th century, it experienced significant destruction during the Hundred Years War which required reconstruction. Close to the architecture of the Notre-Dame d'Echillais church, the current Saint-Vivien church notably has a triumphal arch facade inspired by the antique style. Listed as a Historic Monument, it also reveals a simple interior with a nave of four bays and a choir revealing traces of naive frescoes from the 17th century.

As you walk through the city, you can also admire the neo-classical Protestant temple erected in the 19th century, or the 17th-century Taupignac dwelling and the 18th-century Chalézac dwelling.

The weekly market is held every Tuesday morning on Lipkowski Square.

A fireworks display takes place every year in mid-July to celebrate the national holiday.

A Christmas market with entertainment is offered in December.
