There's room for a break with a drink and a snack. Or an ice cream. It sounds commercial, but it can be very useful information in high summer temperatures.

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.

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.

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.

Camping on a human scale, only around twenty pitches but each with an absolutely exceptional view. The campsite is located just below the orientation table which overlooks the port. Nearby you also have a small pizzeria which makes very good dishes and is renowned for its fabulous entrecôte. For the campsite, like the restaurant, remember to make a reservation to ensure a place.
