The Château de Saint-Seurin-d’Uzet dates back to the 14th century and forms a fortified complex. A four-arched bridge spans the moat and leads to a gatehouse.
Renting a holiday apartment can be part of planning a personal trip for a stay in Chenac-Saint-Seurin-d’Uzet.
Culture
Construction of the present-day Église Saint-Séverin at the harbour began in 1707 and was completed in 1721. It has an extended nave, a western façade with a rose window and a Romanesque Revival style.
The restored Minoterie des Monards has retained a large part of its machinery and is a testament to the area’s industrial heritage. At the Atelier des Remparts in Saint-Seurin-d’Uzet, visitors can meet artists, talk to them and discover their work.
History
In 2013, the association was commissioned to establish and continue running the Auberge-Musée du caviar et de l’esturgeon. The Auberge-Musée du caviar et de l’esturgeon is located in the former Esturgeon restaurant, a historic site for the preparation and tasting of Gironde caviar.
Saint-Seurin-d’Uzet has historical ties to Gironde caviar. The first caviar produced in France was created in the 1920s thanks to Maison Prunier.
Nature
The reed bed near Conchemarche provides shelter for almost 30 bird species. It is managed by the Conservatoire du littoral and the Conservatoire régional des espaces naturels.

Route 6 passes through vineyard-covered slopes and hilly landscapes, as well as marshland and cliffs above the Gironde estuary.
