Blaye

France Travel Photos Information

Blaye is located on the right bank of the Gironde estuary (here over 2 m. wide), 35 m. north of Bordeaux by rail.

The town has a citadel built by Vauban on a rock beside the river, and embracing in its enceinte ruins of an old Gothic château. The latter contains the tomb of Charibert II, king of Aquitaine, and son of Clotaire II. Blaye is also defended by the Fort Paté on an island in the river and the Fort Médoc on its left bank, both of the 17th century.
