Saint-Jean-d'Angély
Saint-Jean-d'Angély is a town in the Charente-Maritime department of western France, in the old province of Saintonge. It grew around a Benedictine abbey founded in the early ninth century by Pepin I of Aquitaine, which claimed to hold the head of John the Baptist and drew pilgrims on the road to Santiago. In 1621 the Protestant town was besieged and taken by Louis XIII.
