The Church of Saint-André-du-Nom-de-Dieu includes sections whose construction dates from the 12th to the 19th centuries. It was built by the Benedictines of the Abbey of La Sauve-Majeure and was once used by a priory founded after 1115, dependent on the abbey. The dominant style of this fortified church is Romanesque. Its massive, square-based bell tower is imposing. The building boasts beautiful stained-glass windows and a remarkable organ case. The church was last restored in 1977. The Virgin of Mercy is an alabaster sculpture dating from the 16th century and is a listed historic monument.

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.

A ferry crosses the estuary between Blaye and Lamarque. Bicycles are of course welcome and the crossing costs the same as for a pedestrian (€4.50 in August 2024). Check the timetables on the department website: gironde.fr
