Civrac-De-Blaye: Church, Culture and Countryside

Civrac-De-Blaye brings together architectural history, cultural activities and countryside, as well as a specific walking route. The church was rebuilt during the Renaissance; Le 920 offers events and activities for children and adults throughout the year. Also on offer are the Marché Gourmand, a festive summer event, open, grazed meadows and the 17.2-kilometre Boucle des Moulins. For trip planning, these attractions differ above all in their timing: church visits are possible by prior appointment, activities at Le 920 are offered year-round, and the Marché Gourmand takes place in summer.

Church and Architectural History

The church in Civrac-De-Blaye was rebuilt during the Renaissance. Its 15th-century roof frame is shaped like an upturned boat hull. The building can therefore be appreciated through two specific features: its Renaissance-era reconstruction and the distinctive shape of its roof frame. Admission is free, and visits are possible by prior appointment. Plan your visit for a time agreed in advance. This is a different planning step from visiting Le 920, where events and activities are offered throughout the year.

Le 920 and the Marché Gourmand

Le 920 is an intergenerational cultural venue. Events and activities are aimed at children and adults and are offered throughout the year. If you would like to include cultural activities in your trip alongside the architecture, Le 920 offers a focus of its own. Its year-round programme differs in timing from the Marché Gourmand, which takes place as a summer event.

The Marché Gourmand is a festive summer event in the Parc jardin of Civrac-De-Blaye. Numerous producers, winemakers and food trucks offer food that can be enjoyed at large communal tables in the park. Sharing a meal makes the event a distinct item on your itinerary alongside visits to the church and cultural venue. If you would like to plan your trip around the Marché Gourmand, check the event date in advance.

Circular Walking Route and Countryside

The Boucle des Moulins is a 17.2-kilometre circular walking route between Civrac-De-Blaye and Saint-Savin. The distance gives you a clear idea of whether to include a circular walk in your stay. Unlike a church visit, the key planning consideration here is not an appointment but the stated route length.

Open, grazed meadows are also part of the landscape of Civrac-De-Blaye. The character of the area is shaped not only by architectural history and cultural activities; the meadows are another distinctive aspect of the local landscape. When choosing what to focus on during your trip, you can consider cultural history, a seasonal festival, the circular walking route and the countryside as different themes.

Motorhome Pitches and Getting Your Bearings

Two free motorhome pitches are available in the park by the town hall in Civrac-De-Blaye. The pitches are shaded and have a small pond. An information board points out places of interest and other motorhome pitches in the surrounding area. Motorhome travellers can therefore find guidance there, along with suggestions for other possible destinations nearby.
