Sentier Détours N°1 – Mortagne-sur-Gironde

This Détours Trail allows you to discover the old town of Mortagne-sur-Gironde, nestled on the cliffs, which is organized around the Church of Saint Étienne and the town with its shops.
The colorful and relief-filled walk invites you to historically recognize the rich heritage that Mortagne-sur-Gironde offers.

Mortagne-sur-Gironde… The name comes from the Roman occupation and locally, from a Berber garrison (Castrum Mauretaniae: the Moorish camp). Nestled on a cliff
30 m high limestone, the town dominates the Gironde Estuary. In the XNUMXth century, a castle defended the town. Today, nothing remains of the old fortifications. This loop allows you to discover the town, the church and to go along the cliff sheltering the hermitage.
