The Pair-non-Pair Cave is a decorated cave, discovered in 1881, containing artistic representations dating back more than 32,000 years before the present, attributed to the Aurignacian culture. Listed as a historical monument since 1900, the cave is the third decorated cave discovered, after Altamira and Chabot Cave. Its study established the antiquity of the parietal engravings and officially recognized the prehistoric art. The cave, located in the commune of Prignac-et-Marcamps, is open only for guided tours. Booking a tour time online is required.

The commune is the result of the merger of three parishes: Prignac (on the road to Blaye), Marcamps (further north, on the hillsides above the Moron Valley), and Cazelle (further south, descending towards the Dordogne). The three churches still exist. In addition, there is the former chapel of the priory of Lurzine, not far from the village of Prignac. During the French Revolution, the parish of Saint-Pierre de Prignac formed the commune of Prignac, and its annex, Saint-Michel de Marcamps, formed the commune of Marcamps. The parish of Saint-Félix de Cazelles and its annex, Sainte-Quitterie de Magrigne, formed the commune of Cazelles. In the year 12, the commune of Cazelles was annexed to that of Prignac, which became Prignac-et-Cazelles. In 1965, the commune of Marcamps was annexed to that of Prignac-et-Cazelles, which became Prignac-et-Marcamps.

A resort located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, this historic town owes its prosperity to its geographical location. The ancient Roman road, which connected Saintes to Blaye, was in use for fourteen centuries. In the 12th and 13th centuries, it was used by pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela. A hospital located near the road, run by monks, provided travelers with a rest. National Route 137 was known as the "Royal Route" (an imperial route under the Empire) and dates back to the reign of Charles VIII (1483-1498). Its creation led to the establishment of hotels, inns, and stagecoach services along the road. The name Étauliers is mentioned in 1730. The railway, now removed, dates from 1888.

Located 5 km from Blaye and 50 km from Bordeaux, the commune is located on the prehistoric site discovered at the foot of the hills of “La Garde” and “Peylon”. Saint Seurin, a modern and dynamic commune, offers the services and activities of the present day (doctor, pharmacy, hotel restaurant, etc.) but has managed to retain its rural charm and winegrowers produce excellent Blaye wines, Côtes de Bordeaux.
