In the evening at 18:30 is a light-optical phenomenon, when the sun shines through the archway. Do not miss!

Saint-Vivien Church of Pons

Highlight • Religious Site

The church has a special feature a letter issued by John XXIII. This honors Pons and his veneration of Mary.

Only a few churches in France, but several of them in the Saintonge, are dedicated to St. Bibianus (also Vivianus or Vivien) consecrated, a supposed bishop of Saintes from the Visigothic-Franconian period (5th century), about the otherwise almost nothing is known. A (fictitious) representation of the bishop can be found on the northern side of the 19th century stained glass windows in the gothic west window.
