Libourne is a royal bastide (a planned new town) created in 1270 under the orders of King Henry II of England. He was the knight Sir Roger de Leyburn, recently promoted to the honorary position of the King’s Lieutenant, who was tasked with its construction on the very site of the ancient Gallo-Roman port of Condatis. Over the centuries, Leyburn underwent Gallicization and became Libourne. Libourne, located at the confluence of the Isle and Dordogne rivers, in the upper reaches of the Gironde Estuary, has the unique characteristic of being the foremost shipping port on the Dordogne, nearly 100 km inland! This unique location bolstered its imports and exports and the development of a flourishing trade, in which wine predominated. As a consequence it is one of the wealthiest bastide towns in Aquitaine. In the Middle Ages, a bastide was a new town. These new towns were built to facilitate commercial and agricultural trade, bring together the population and assert one’s presence in the region. Within its ramparts, penetrated by six gates on the river side and three on the land side, it developed over 32 hectares, half of which were used for agriculture. After the Hundred Years’ War, the town had more than 530 houses, a wonderful town hall rebuilt at the end of the 15th century, two churches, a Cordeliers’ convent and two hospitals. In the 18th century, the town began to expand outside its walls, works were undertaken on the site of the moats to create avenues, and glassworks were established in 1749. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the wealth generated by the wine trade enabled high-grade buildings to be constructed. The town prospered over the 19th century: Libourne would construct its rail station, repair the slipways in its harbor and span its rivers with two bridges. Libourne also owes its reputation thanks to illustrious characters, including the Duke Decazes, minister to Louis XVIII, Jules Steeg, a pastor and politician, or the painter René Princeteau. It was also the birthplace of the photographer Eugène Atget and the jurists Léon Duguy and Jean Carbonnier. Starting from a confluence, the town itself became a confluence - of rivers, lands, languages and people. Today, it opens its gates to you, and it is you who will delve into its unique history.

This itinerary takes you to the heart of the "Gabaye" country, a land of customs with a language coming from the people of Saintonge who came to repopulate these lands after the Hundred Years War and the great black plague. There remains today an agricultural tradition based on breeding and vines.

Further afield, large plots of land are devoted to the cultivation of asparagus. The map-guide is available at the Tourist Office.

And to return to Libourne, in Cadarsac, the church, founded by the Hospitaliers de Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem, houses a sacred but unfortunately hidden fountain.
