Exceptional view, the most beautiful village in France.

Opposite the church, you'll find a small supermarket, public restrooms, and drinking water. Always interesting.

Former railway from 1888, now an excellent smooth bike trail to the Gironde estuary.

A resort located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, this historic town owes its prosperity to its geographical location. The ancient Roman road, which connected Saintes to Blaye, was in use for fourteen centuries. In the 12th and 13th centuries, it was used by pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela. A hospital located near the road, run by monks, provided travelers with a rest. National Route 137 was known as the "Royal Route" (an imperial route under the Empire) and dates back to the reign of Charles VIII (1483-1498). Its creation led to the establishment of hotels, inns, and stagecoach services along the road. The name Étauliers is mentioned in 1730. The railway, now removed, dates from 1888.

The Saint-Saturnin Church was built in 1898 after the previous church was destroyed during the French Revolution. Near the church stands the Column of the Shipwrecked, an ex-voto erected by Nordic sailors who survived a shipwreck in the early 17th century. Located on the right bank of the Gironde River, Europe's largest estuary, the town owes its wealth of infrastructure and sports facilities to the presence of the Blayais National Park. In the heart of the marshland, its territory boasts typical wetland landscapes, home to exceptional flora and fauna. Discover it on bike rides or by visiting the "Terres d'oiseaux" bird park, next to the port of Callonges. A major producer of asparagus from Blayais, but also a wine-growing commune located in one of the largest vineyards in the world, Bordeaux, Braud-et-Saint-Louis also borders the appellations of cognac and pineau des Charentes.

Located 5 km from Blaye and 50 km from Bordeaux, the commune is located on the prehistoric site discovered at the foot of the hills of “La Garde” and “Peylon”. Saint Seurin, a modern and dynamic commune, offers the services and activities of the present day (doctor, pharmacy, hotel restaurant, etc.) but has managed to retain its rural charm and winegrowers produce excellent Blaye wines, Côtes de Bordeaux.

You can also spend a night at the Saint James House B&B, quality guest rooms, swimming pool and view of the Donjon 🙂
