If you stand on top of those walls, you will have a terrific view of the estuary- this view was the field of fire, giving the citadel command of the river. The citadel contains the ruins of a medieval castle, houses, squares, streets, even a convent, all enclosed within stark walls. This fortress design was the one Vauban, Louis XIV’s favorite military engineer, found most satisfactory, and he built some 300 of them in the Sun King’s realm.
Upon returning to Blaye, your guide will take you through the 17th-century demilune-shaped citadel built by famed military engineer Vauban. But the history of these cliffs extends far beyond the 19th century-people have inhabited the area for thousands of years. Many of these captains traveled to far-off places and returned with exotic plants, which they planted in their gardens and along the road (hence the route’s name). Fishing huts on stilts stand above the waters of the estuary charming 19th-century stone houses built by sea captains sit tidily along the road. This little road between Blaye and Bourg-sur-Gironde winds through picturesque hamlets with equally picturesque names-Pain de Sucre, Marmisson and Roque de Thau among them-limestone cliffs on one side, the Gironde on the other.
