Former covered outdoor halls, now used for events

Charming manor house among the vines. Private access, but nice owners. Worth seeing with winery.

This neo-Gothic church was built to replace the dilapidated church of the Recollect Fathers, a men's convent founded in 1627. In the 19th century, the church wanted to encourage a revival of Catholic worship; it encouraged the construction of new religious buildings in Gironde. Thus, in 1856, the Saint-Géronce church was consecrated. Due to lack of space, its apse was oriented towards the south, contrary to what the liturgy provided. The organ, which has its original construction from 1861, is remarkable. Mass is celebrated there every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.

The Pair-non-Pair Cave is a decorated cave, discovered in 1881, containing artistic representations dating back more than 32,000 years before the present, attributed to the Aurignacian culture. Listed as a historical monument since 1900, the cave is the third decorated cave discovered, after Altamira and Chabot Cave. Its study established the antiquity of the parietal engravings and officially recognized the prehistoric art. The cave, located in the commune of Prignac-et-Marcamps, is open only for guided tours. Booking a tour time online is required. The reception area, museum space, and shop are open from June 1st to September 30th, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. From October 1st to May 31st, 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Closed on Mondays, January 1st, May 1st, and December 25th.

The commune is the result of the merger of three parishes: Prignac (on the road to Blaye), Marcamps (further north, on the hillsides above the Moron Valley), and Cazelle (further south, descending towards the Dordogne). The three churches still exist. In addition, there is the former chapel of the priory of Lurzine, not far from the village of Prignac. During the French Revolution, the parish of Saint-Pierre de Prignac formed the commune of Prignac, and its annex, Saint-Michel de Marcamps, formed the commune of Marcamps. The parish of Saint-Félix de Cazelles and its annex, Sainte-Quitterie de Magrigne, formed the commune of Cazelles. In the year 12, the commune of Cazelles was annexed to that of Prignac, which became Prignac-et-Cazelles. In 1965, the commune of Marcamps was annexed to that of Prignac-et-Cazelles, which became Prignac-et-Marcamps.

The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the Dordogne River here, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous Tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.
