The "Variante de l'Hôpital", a historic section of the Soulac route, follows the route taken by the pilgrims of yesteryear in the Nord Médoc. Almost 1,000 years ago, thousands of pilgrims from northern Europe landed at Soulac-sur-Mer on their way to Compostela, Rome or Jerusalem. After their devotions at Sainte-Véronique, they would head for the Hôpital de la Grayanès, where the Hospitallers of Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem had founded a major commandery (the Order's 4th in France). The chapel of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de L'Hôpital is the last witness to this.

Situated in the village of l'Hôpital, on the "historical variant" of the Way of St. James between Soulac-sur-Mer and Vendays-Montalivet, the Hospital Chapel, whose foundations date from the 12th century, has been undergoing a certain revival in recent years, mainly due to the association of Friends of the Chapel of St. John the Baptist of the Hospital. This association offers to regularly open the chapel to visits, participate in its preservation and restoration, and organise cultural events (conferences, concerts, exhibitions). Visitors appreciate the freshness and charm of the place. The clarity, simplicity and beauty of the furniture and ornaments are particularly emphasized.

Located in the heart of the village, the origin of its construction would go back to the 6th century. It was first a simple chapel dedicated to the cult of Saint Vivien, bishop of Saintes. Threatened with destruction on several occasions, notably during barbarian invasions and religious wars, it was restored and embellished in the 12th century, a period during which its remarkable Romanesque style apse was built and still remains today. In 1957, the church was given a new bell tower. Its somewhat surprising architectural style is still an inexhaustible topic of conversation for visitors and inhabitants of the village.

The Marais de la Perge is a vast wetland made up of a very spread out group of formerly grazed marshes where hedgerows, forests and large meadows or reed beds alternate Ditches and canals punctuate the former pastureland.
