Why we point you here

Michelin-charted modern cooking in Saintes that's absolutely worth the detour from the coast.

Saintes doesn't often draw the culinary crowd, but we'd point you to l'IØDE for precisely that reason—modern cuisine executed well enough to earn a Michelin Bib Gourmand, in a Roman town most roam through too quickly. Worth building a night around.
