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.

This church is quite recent (19th century) because it was built following the destruction of the village parish during the Revolution. However, its architecture is worthy of interest when passing through the charming town of Braud-et-Saint-Louis.

Sanctus Saturninus de Brau is the name found in the 14th century. Braud would be an abbreviation of Beraud, Saintonge form of the Germanic name Beroald, which means Old Lord. Based on the form "Embrand" which formerly would have designated this locality. Several possible etymologies of Braud The name Braud could also come from the Gascon Braou which means Bull, a sign that this form of cattle was raised in the swamps. Commune formed from the union of two former parishes: Braud, from old French "Brai", mud, marshy place and St Louis, parish founded by the Duke of St Simon in 1656 and included in the commune of Braud in 1802. Origin of the name of the municipality of Braud and Saint Louis Braud would come from beraud, Saintonge form of the Germanic name berard, old lord" or from the Gascon braou, "bull", a sign that these cattle were raised in the swamps or even from the old French brai, "mud", "swampy place". The parish of Braud is cited under the name of Sanctus Saturninus (Saint Saturnin) of Braud. The drying out of the marshes, in the 17th century, on the initiative of the Duke Claude de Saint Simon, governor of Blaye, was to make it possible to transform the marshes into "good nature of arable land" and create villages. The draining finished, the plots are allocated, the smallholdings appear. The number of inhabitants encouraged the Duke of Saint Simon to found two parishes: the parish of Saint Louis (all the part of the large marsh located between the Gironde and the ring canal, between the Clonges canal and that of Fréneau), in l honor of the King of France and that of Saint Simon. The church, the presbytery and the cemetery built between 1665 and 1667 were destroyed during the Revolution of 1789. Rebuilt in 1895 in a neo-Gothic style and on a new north-south orientation, it is located north of the town of Braud -and-Saint-Louis. The spire of the bell tower culminates at 37 meters in height. After the Revolution, the parish of Saint Saturnin de Braud and the parish of Saint Louis des Marais were united to form the municipality of Braud and Saint Louis. THE CROSS OF SAINT LOUIS A cross found in the attic of the presbytery of Braud was erected at a place called "La Chapelle", near Fréneau, during a procession in June 1915, thus indicating the location of the disappeared church. This cross is visible from the road leading to the nuclear power plant, on the left, 4 km from the Paillerie roundabout.

The cycle path leaves from Blaye and crosses the vineyard of Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux to Etauliers (or the reverse) for about 13 km (26 km round trip). It is part of the V80 or the Canal des Deux Mers à Vélo route. An excellent way for adults and children to discover the heritage of our region in peace. A real greenway (with lots of shaded parts) it is suitable for learning to ride a bike with small children. .. the ideal family outing by definition! Note that pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela often take it before stopping at Blaye…. and enjoy a good glass of wine (from Blaye, of course) to recover from the fatigue of the day!!!
