SAINT MAIXANT
François Mauriac, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the poster is beautiful!
A surprising stroll from Saint-Maixant to Verdelais and its basilica, its former port on the Garonne, Malagar, home of F. Mauriac. Recommended departure from the Saint-Maixant Town Hall car park. Two picnic areas in Saint-Maixant, one to the left of the town hall and the other near the bowling alley. In Verdelais, a picnic area covered by a hall at a place called "Le Luc" is not lacking in charm.
