An interesting story about Saintes
Saintes, a city of scandal? At the time of the religious wars, yes! It is said that in the late 16th century, the Notre-Dame Abbey was the setting of a steamy love affair between Bishop Nicolas le Cornu and Abbesse Françoise de La Rochefoucauld. Even if the alleged lovers were not convicted of wrongdoing due to lack of evidence, they were endlessly mocked, particularly in the form a humorous poem recited for many decades.
