Montendre Castle rises on an eminence 114 meters high and dominates a vast panorama of moors, woods and meadows as well as the tight houses of the old town below. Its origin dates back to the Gallo-Roman era with the construction of a first oppidum in 52 BC. J-C.

The castle retains elements from various periods, including part of the enclosures, a round tower, a square tower, a guard room and underground passages. Since the beginning of the 2000s, each summer, international projects (Solidarités Jeunesses) have made it possible to gradually renovate the castle grounds and preserve this site, converted into a promenade.

The castle is open for visits from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Close on Sunday.

Citadel of Blaye

Highlight • Historical Site

In the urban area north of the river port of Saugeron is the 17th century citadel of Blaye, which has an early Roman fortification. In 1652, under the direction of Field Marshal and engineer Blaise François Pagan (1604 - † 1665) began a first fortress expansion. In the same place under the engineer François Ferry (1649-1701) from 1680 and 1689, the well-preserved citadel was built, the work had been under the control of the fortress builder Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1770). The Citadel of Blaye belongs together with Fort Pâté (on the same Gironde island) and Fort Médoc since July 7, 2008 under the name "Verrou Vauban" UNESCO World Heritage.
