Books

Location: Charante-Maritime, turn-off 36 of E5/A10. Junction of D732 (west towards Gémozac, Saujon and Royan and east towards Cognac) and D137 (north to Pons and Sainte and south to Mirambeau)

A splendid roundabout is to be found just off Junction 36 of the E5/A10, a few miles from Pons in the Charante-Maritime. There is a large open book, with fine illustrated writing backed by a rank of upright books.

The open book says: "La Haute Saintonge: Terre de Charme, Magic des Pierres, Beauté des Paysages".

Haute Saintonge is a "communauté des communes" at the southern end of the Charante-Maritime and on the spines of the upright books are the names of principal towns and villages within the community.
