This road bridge was built by Gustave Eiffel, between 1879 and 1883, on the foundations of a first suspension bridge (1839-1869) carried away by a storm. Destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt by his grandson. The access ramp is supported by stone arcades which, seen from below, have the appearance of a Gothic cathedral.

This neo-Gothic church was built to replace the dilapidated church of the Recollect Fathers, a men's convent founded in 1627. In the 19th century, the church wanted to encourage a revival of Catholic worship; it encouraged the construction of new religious buildings in Gironde. Thus, in 1856, the Saint-Géronce church was consecrated. Due to lack of space, its apse was oriented towards the south, contrary to what the liturgy provided. The organ, which has its original construction from 1861, is remarkable. Mass is celebrated there every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.

The Church of Saint-André-du-Nom-de-Dieu includes sections whose construction dates from the 12th to the 19th centuries. It was built by the Benedictines of the Abbey of La Sauve-Majeure and was once used by a priory founded after 1115, dependent on the abbey. The dominant style of this fortified church is Romanesque. Its massive, square-based bell tower is imposing. The building boasts beautiful stained-glass windows and a remarkable organ case. The church was last restored in 1977. The Virgin of Mercy is an alabaster sculpture dating from the 16th century and is a listed historic monument.

The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the Dordogne river here, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous Tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.
