Tradition has it that the origin of the basilica can be traced back to the legend of Saint-Veronique. In the first century of our era, after the death of the Virgin, Saint-Veronique, Saint-Amadour and Saint-Martial came from Palestine and landed in Soulac-sur-Mer. Saint-Veronique built a modest oratory in memory of the Virgin, after having evangelized the Médoc and the Bazadais. It was probably in the 11th century, when pilgrims from the English lands landed there, that this Benedictine abbey, classified as a historical monument, was built. The construction of the Romanesque church was not completed before the beginning of the 12th century. In the 18th century, erosion of the dunes caused the church to be almost completely silted up, and it was only in the middle of the 19th century that it was cleared. This monument is registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

From Soulac-sur-Mer to Le Verdon-sur-Mer, the Second World War left its mark In the continuity of the Atlantic Wall, a set of remains built under the German occupation still reside on the dune barrier and the forest massif To discover the bunkers and in order to preserve this environment, it is preferable to leave with a guide or to follow the GR8.

The man has always lived on the island that was once the village of Talais. Not far from the village centre, at the western entrance to the commune, you can see a series of earthen mounds. These mottes formed the foundations of a monument, perhaps of a votive and sacred nature, or perhaps a dwelling. The nearby presence of flint spearheads and bronze axes testifies to the human occupation of this site, dating back to the Neolithic period, when it was repopulated until more recent times. Currently in private ownership, the site is neither developed nor even signposted... It is interesting to look at the satellite views of this site, which show a vast field of traces of construction around the current remains.

The church of Talais, located in the heart of the village, was rebuilt in the 19th century on the ruins of an old Romanesque building, probably from the 12th century.

Inside, an exhibition of old photos of the church is accessible to the public during the opening days and in summer, an exhibition of old chasubles To find out more, from June to September guided tours are organised every morning from 10am to 12pm in French, with the possibility of booking in the Tourist Offices of the Médoc Atlantique.
