Village ancien de Blaye

Evoked in the Song of Roland, the City of Blaye is a relay on the road to Santiago de Compostela and experienced significant growth thanks to its commercial port in the XNUMXth century. The old medieval town gives way to the citadel of Vauban while the new town extends to the foot of the fortress, now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site within the Vauban Network with Fort Pâté and Fort Médoc. The shopping street hosts a traditional market twice a week. The alleys preserve the traces of the glorious past of the city and offer a permanent art exhibition of paintings and photographs installed on the walls of the city.
