Magnificent port

Cute little coastal village at the mouth of a small canal, with a recreational port and a few restaurants as well as picnic spots for a break.

This magnificent church building - originally Romanesque - was dedicated to the patronage of "Saint-ETIENNE". He was one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem community and, according to the biblical accounts in the "New Testament", was also the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on the second day of Christmas, December 26th. As the Acts of the Apostles report: When Stephen expressed his vision of the open heavens "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Chapter 7, Verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.

nice little hike

Good selection of restaurants, however if like us you want to create your own lunch the supermarket is 10 minutes up hill on your bicycle.

Certain foundations of small elongated freestones bear witness to a building from the end of the 11th century or the beginning of the 12th century. The nave was taken over in the second half of the 12th century and reinforced by arcades. If the base of the bell tower is characteristic of Romanesque architecture, its upper part bears the mark of the first Gothic age. The octagonal stone spire crowns a bell chamber based on a similar plan, the sides featuring alternating single bays and twin bays. Finally, the north wall and the facade were redone in the 19th century, the first bay of the nave having been shortened in order to widen the road passing in front of the church41. Like the majority of churches in the region, the Saint-Pierre de Gémozac church is based on a plan in the shape of a Latin cross. It consists of a single nave with four bays covered with a pointed barrel vault, which was completely redone in the 16th century. Inside, arcades respond to the buttresses and serve to reinforce the structure of the building. As in some Romanesque churches in the region, the transepts are covered with cupolas. However, if the north brace has a dome on squinches, the south brace has the particularity of having a dome on pendentives. The two arms of the transept are extended by apsidioles: the oldest (12th century), that of the south transept, forms a vaulted hemicycle; the most recent is a rectangular chapel covered with ribbed vaults. A narrow arcade opens onto the first bay of the choir. This forms a set of two spans. The first is covered with quadripartite warheads, while the second is completed by liernes. The flat apse (13th century), pierced with a triplet, testifies to the Cistercian influence on the architecture of the time. The church of Saint-Pierre de Gémozac is part of the tourist inventory of the most beautiful churches of Saintonge and is often cited among the religious buildings worthy of a visit. In certain aspects, this church is indeed one of the beautiful Romanesque churches of the Saintonge type, among which are still the remarkable churches of Rétaud, Rioux or even Thaims, all located in its canton.

The first mention of Port-Maubert appears in the 16th century. It is one of the ports with an intense wheat trade activity on the Gironde estuary. Trade is mainly with Bordeaux. The goods are loaded on barges which transported their cargoes according to the tides and the winds. In the middle of the 19th century, work changed the appearance of the port. At the same time, a landing stage was built to accommodate steamboat passengers. In the 1860s, the State ceded its land to build houses, warehouses for goods, a fairing slipway and establish a shipyard (the future "le Chérif" shipyard). At the entrance to the port, a steam flour mill processes and exports a large part of the cereal production of the Jonzac district. Port activity was at its peak: wines, wheat, potatoes, and other goods flowed in from all over Saintonge to be shipped to Bordeaux, Libourne, Pauillac. The fishing activity continues, the fishermen use boats equipped with nets the "filardières", some come out of the shipyard of Port Maubert, the "Chérif". Fishing has been mentioned in the estuary since the Middle Ages, a modest activity which grew with the modernization of the ports in the middle of the 19th century. The sturgeon, called here "Créac" or "Créa" is one of the fish caught for their flesh. According to tradition, a Russian princess would have come to St-Seurin-d'Uzet. She would then have undertaken to re-teach them how to prepare caviar and when she left, she would have forgotten her umbrella, now carefully kept in St-Seurin-d'Uzet. More specifically, the Prunier house, a great Parisian restaurateur, undertook in 1921 to organize the production of caviar in France and sent Alexandre Scott to St-Seurin-d'Uzet to teach the preparation of caviar to the fishermen of the region. From this activity by several production sites develop as in Port Maubert. The intensity of fishing, in addition to pollution and the modification of natural environments, leads to the scarcity of sturgeons. Its fishing declined in the 1960s and was finally banned in the 1980s, the sturgeon becoming a protected species. Since the 1990s, research has been carried out to reintroduce the original species of sturgeon, the sturio. At the same time, Baerii sturgeon farms are open along the estuary to provide caviar. In the 1980s, sturgeon fishing was banned and fishermen reoriented themselves towards pibales, hitherto practiced on foot or in skiffs with a landing net, and which now is done with boats equipped with "haveneaux": the "pibaliers", also used for shrimp fishing. Today the activity of Port Maubert is mainly linked to fishing and yachting, while a sailing school allows learning how to handle the Optimists on the hunting basin in complete safety. Local fishermen perpetuate the activity and offer the product of their work in the form of numerous recipes sold at the on-site shop.
