Magnificent port

Google 번역•원문 보기

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.

The 1st human settlement in St Seurin takes the form of a Roman villa on the promontory where the medieval castle will stand in the shadow of which a village will develop for which will be built a 1st church dedicated to ST Martin, the apostle of the Gauls. A Romanesque church was built in the 12th century which, like the first churches of the diocese, depended on the bishop of Saintes. In 1174, one of them; Adhamar Carbonnel, conceded the church of the village of Uzel to the Prior of Mortagne. The latter is a Chamoine of the newly founded Order of St Augustine. This order works for the reform of the church after years of negligence and submission to the various temporal powers (reform known as Gregorian after the name of Pope Gregory VII, who inspired this breath of renewal in the middle of the 11th century). One of the great names of this order is an Aquitanian, Geoffroy de Loroux who, in 1136, becomes Archbishop of Bordeaux (he will participate in the Foundation of the Abbey of Sablonceaux which also depended on the Order of St Augustin). It is probably this connection with Aquitaine via the order of the Canons of St Augustin and the Priory of Mortagne which explains the new dedication of the parish church of Uzet to St Seurin, a St Bishop of Bordeaux from the beginning of the 5th century whose historicity is problematic even if it has a Basilica in Bordeaux dating from the beginning of the 11th century. St Seurin (Severinus), born in the East, would have arrived in Bordeaux around 410 and providentially met Bishop Arnandus. This one after a dream where the Lord would have told him that he had to go to meet his servant Severin, fell into his arms and together they returned to the church singing aloud psalms (comments collected in the book of Grégoire de Tours dedicated to the St Shepherds of Gaul). This is how Severinus would have become bishop of Bordeaux. Having become dilapidated and having suffered greatly from the horrors of the religious wars, the church of Uzet was abandoned during the 17th century, its destruction was ordered in 1707. A new church was rebuilt nearby in 1689 but near the port, there where the new town had settled. This church is mentioned in 1709 by C. Masse during one of his wanderings in Saintonge, mentioning a "large chapel". Work continued until its official consecration in 1710 by the Archpriest of St Fort, Fleurinon, and the titular priest of the Parish of St Seurin d'Uzet, Michel Allary. Between 1857 and 1859, a restoration campaign was led by Victor Fontorbe, who slightly modified the structure of the building. This neo-Romanesque building forms a single vessel with 2 bays, ending in a semi-circular apse. 2 apsidioles are added to the nave, one of which, dating from 1721, houses the seigniorial chapel of the barons of Uzet. The vaults of the sanctuary are fully framed, like the hull of an overturned ship. The neo-Toman style facade features arcades and corbels surmounting a tympanum representing Christ and the Evangelists.

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.
