A small town lying along the Gironde estuary, between Barzan and Mortagne-sur-Gironde, it is above all famous for its fishing port, which was the "French capital of caviar" for much of the 20th century: in the mid-1950s, between three and five tonnes of this luxury commodity were still being produced, exported worldwide. However, sturgeon fishing was banned in 1982 to protect the species; now, "Gironde caviar" is obtained from aquaculture farms: nearly twelve tonnes of caviar are produced each year in the region. At the gateway to the great marshes on the north bank of the Gironde, it is now a tourist and agricultural town.

Cute little coastal village at the mouth of a small canal, with a recreational port and a few restaurants as well as picnic spots for a break.

This magnificent church building - originally Romanesque - was dedicated to the patronage of "Saint-ETIENNE". He was one of the first seven deacons of the original Jerusalem community and, according to the biblical accounts in the "New Testament", was also the first martyr (martyr) of early Christianity. The church commemorates his death on the second day of Christmas, December 26th. As the Acts of the Apostles report: When Stephen expressed his vision of the open heavens "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Chapter 7, Verse 55), the people were so outraged that they drove him out of the city and stoned him.
