Citadel of Blaye

Highlight • Historical Site

In the urban area north of the river port of Saugeron is the 17th century citadel of Blaye, which has an early Roman fortification. In 1652, under the direction of Field Marshal and engineer Blaise François Pagan (1604 - † 1665) began a first fortress expansion. In the same place under the engineer François Ferry (1649-1701) from 1680 and 1689, the well-preserved citadel was built, the work had been under the control of the fortress builder Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1770). The Citadel of Blaye belongs together with Fort Pâté (on the same Gironde island) and Fort Médoc since July 7, 2008 under the name "Verrou Vauban" UNESCO World Heritage.

Port of Plassac

Highlight • Structure

The small port of Plassac is typical of the esteys of the Gironde estuary.
It is in the heart of the ancient village with a Gallo-Roman villa. A Terra Aventura route, combining hiking and discovery, allows you to get to know Plassac better. During your visit, you can also admire mosaics displayed in the alleys of the village: they were created by the inhabitants and by the Babylon Mosaic workshop-boutique.
A stepped earthen dike made it possible to shape the current configuration of the port, making it possible to create 44 places reserved for pleasure craft. A rocky groyne protects the entrance to the port. 22 gangways provide access to the boats and boaters can benefit from a water tap, electrical outlets and a light point. bbte.fr/equipements-de-loisirs/port-de-plassac
