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.

Great views across the Gironde estuary from the traditional wooden fishing piers at the end of the road.

Very scenic shortcut along a canal. The map showed a secondary trail, which fortunately turns out to be relatively smooth gravel.

Nice track, be careful there is no protection against the wind or the sun ;)

An old Romanesque church like many churches in this region. It has its cemetery and is only open on religious holidays. As for the town, it has less than 200 inhabitants, there are no amenities, no shops, no cafes.

Cellar in Montendre specializing in white wine. They offer many local wines, as well as wines from other French regions. Might be closed, so call ahead to see if they're open. +33677472892

Montendre Castle rises on an eminence 114 meters high and dominates a vast panorama of moors, woods and meadows as well as the tight houses of the old town below. Its origin dates back to the Gallo-Roman era with the construction of a first oppidum in 52 BC. J-C. The castle retains elements from various periods, including part of the enclosures, a round tower, a square tower, a guard room and underground passages. Since the beginning of the 2000s, each summer, international projects (Solidarités Jeunesses) have made it possible to gradually renovate the castle grounds and preserve this site, converted into a promenade. The castle is open for visits from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Close on Sunday.
