Very beautiful Romanesque church from the 12th century.

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.

There is a picnic table and you can take shelter here, but the whole area gives a somewhat run-down impression.

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.
