BLAYE CITADEL
Built between 1680 and 1689, the Citadel of Blaye, with Fort Paté and Fort Médoc, is part of the Vauban Lock.
Situated on the Gironde estuary, this famous citadel, nicknamed "Le Bijou de Vauban", was built in the 17th century, during the reign of Louis XIV. Part of the Verrou Vauban, along with Fort Pâté and Fort Médoc, it bears witness to the military art of Vauban, the great military engineer of the time. Since 2008, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The citadel can be visited on foot through the underground passageways, or, more relaxing, by miniature train! And for the more adventurous, escape games are organized in the dungeons...

départ en bateau pour l'ile de patiras oubien l'ile nouvelle.
l'ile nouvelle belle parenthese nature sympa!
sinon faire aller retour avec la bac lamarque-blaye ca dépayse
agréables ruelles au charme ancien , quelques boutiques et l'office du tourisme qui se situe dans la citadelle
le plus agréable a mon avis et de faire le tour par le haut des remparts avec des points de vue sur la gironde et à un certain moment on surplombe les toits des ruelles c'est charmant
