Very beautiful Romanesque church from the 12th century.

Very pleasant moment. The crossing costs €6 for an adult pedestrian and €3 for a bicycle. You can buy your ticket online in advance on the website. The opening hours are also available online. Upon arrival in Lamarque, there are places to eat and toilets.

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.

Opposite the church, you'll find a small supermarket, public restrooms, and drinking water. Always interesting.

The Saint-Saturnin Church was built in 1898 after the previous church was destroyed during the French Revolution. Near the church stands the Column of the Shipwrecked, an ex-voto erected by Nordic sailors who survived a shipwreck in the early 17th century. Located on the right bank of the Gironde River, Europe's largest estuary, the town owes its wealth of infrastructure and sports facilities to the presence of the Blayais National Park. In the heart of the marshland, its territory boasts typical wetland landscapes, home to exceptional flora and fauna. Discover it on bike rides or by visiting the "Terres d'oiseaux" bird park, next to the port of Callonges. A major producer of asparagus from Blayais, but also a wine-growing commune located in one of the largest vineyards in the world, Bordeaux, Braud-et-Saint-Louis also borders the appellations of cognac and pineau des Charentes.
