History Saint-Savinien-sur-Charente is one of the most picturesque communes in Roman Saintonge. It dates back to the Roman times.
Following the Edict of Fontainebleau in 1685, numerous Protestants stayed in Saint-Savinien. In 1717, Claude Masse reported "There is considerable commerce in this place, the large barques constantly coming up as far as Saint-Savinien. There are also many good merchants, but they are for the most part Protestants.”
