Saint Vincent De Paul Town Hall, Church and Pond

Highlight • Other

Cute village with a pretty little lake on the left bank of the Dordogne, just before the Gustave Eiffel road bridge which spans the Dordogne between the communes of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul and Cubzac-les-ponts, built from 1879 to 1883 Destroyed during the Second World War, it was rebuilt in 1946 and 1947 by Jacques Eiffel, grandson of Gustave. In 2016 and 2017, rehabilitation works made it possible to create a cantilevered cycle bridge (source Wikipedia). This bridge, so long awaited, is practical, reliable, and makes the passage of cyclists and pedestrians completely safe.

This is the Cubzac-les-Ponts railway bridge. Built in 1885-1886, it is the work of Daydé & Pillé, a former company. As it looks like the Eiffel bridge a few hundred meters away, this road one, we sometimes confuse the builder. It is still impressive!

Port of Plassac

Highlight • Structure

The small port of Plassac is typical of the esteys of the Gironde estuary.
It is in the heart of the ancient village with a Gallo-Roman villa. A Terra Aventura route, combining hiking and discovery, allows you to get to know Plassac better. During your visit, you can also admire mosaics displayed in the alleys of the village: they were created by the inhabitants and by the Babylon Mosaic workshop-boutique.
A stepped earthen dike made it possible to shape the current configuration of the port, making it possible to create 44 places reserved for pleasure craft. A rocky groyne protects the entrance to the port. 22 gangways provide access to the boats and boaters can benefit from a water tap, electrical outlets and a light point. bbte.fr/equipements-de-loisirs/port-de-plassac

Here we find the second bridge of the city, built by Gustave Eiffel between 1879 and 1883. You have in front of you more than 1.5 kilometers to enjoy the view in the saddle.
