Bourg and its steeply-sloping, narrow streets, Blaye and

its Unesco World Heritage citadel, the coast road, the sea

captains' houses and the local cave dwellings are all delightful

places to visit.

Life in these two towns is ruled by the Gironde Estuary and work in the vineyards but both have a past spanning many

centuries that is reflected in their historic buildings. There are also other fascinating places of interest nearby, for

example the Pair-non-Pair prehistoric cave, the Gallo-Roman village in Plassac or the Terres d'Oiseaux bird sanctuary.
