There is a picnic table and you can take shelter here, but the whole area gives a somewhat run-down impression.

This neo-Gothic church was built to replace the dilapidated church of the Recollect Fathers, a men's convent founded in 1627. In the 19th century, the church wanted to encourage a revival of Catholic worship; it encouraged the construction of new religious buildings in Gironde. Thus, in 1856, the Saint-Géronce church was consecrated. Due to lack of space, its apse was oriented towards the south, contrary to what the liturgy provided. The organ, which has its original construction from 1861, is remarkable. Mass is celebrated there every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.

A resort located on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, this historic town owes its prosperity to its geographical location. The ancient Roman road, which connected Saintes to Blaye, was in use for fourteen centuries. In the 12th and 13th centuries, it was used by pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela. A hospital located near the road, run by monks, provided travelers with a rest. National Route 137 was known as the "Royal Route" (an imperial route under the Empire) and dates back to the reign of Charles VIII (1483-1498). Its creation led to the establishment of hotels, inns, and stagecoach services along the road. The name Étauliers is mentioned in 1730. The railway, now removed, dates from 1888.

Located 5 km from Blaye and 50 km from Bordeaux, the commune is located on the prehistoric site discovered at the foot of the hills of “La Garde” and “Peylon”. Saint Seurin, a modern and dynamic commune, offers the services and activities of the present day (doctor, pharmacy, hotel restaurant, etc.) but has managed to retain its rural charm and winegrowers produce excellent Blaye wines, Côtes de Bordeaux.
