The Saint-Étienne church of Branne is a true haven of peace in the heart of the village, offering a setting conducive to recollection and prayer. The architecture, both sober and majestic, bears witness to the deep faith that has inhabited these places through the centuries. The beauty of the sanctuary naturally invites the elevation of the soul and contemplation of the divine mysteries. One feels an atmosphere of serenity that helps each faithful to find themselves before the Lord in silence and dignity. It is a living place of worship where the presence of Christ is felt, recalling the importance of our Christian roots in the Gironde landscape. A spiritual stopover highly recommended for all those who seek to nourish their faith within a beautifully maintained church.

Construction of the Saint-Paulin church began in 1849. It was initially just a chapel linked to the Saint-Pierre de Bassens parish church. It became a parish church in 1852, one year before the creation of the commune of Carbon-Blanc. The bell tower was designed by Pierre Labbé: begun in 1848, it was completed with a spire in 1852. The transept and sacristies were built in 1864. The church has magnificent stained-glass windows installed gradually between 1867 and 1890 in the choir, the nave and the gallery, and finally the baptismal font. It is remarkable and quite rare that the works of three generations of master glassmakers (Thibaud, Villiet and Dagrand) are exhibited in the same church. The latter was restored in 1993.
