Ville de Port-Sainte-Marie

Stop off at Port-Sainte-Marie and immerse yourself in history, both big and small: this village, with its thousand-year history linked to its neighboring Garonne river, will surprise you with its three churches, its medieval alleyways with their many fountains, and its beautiful panoramic views over the river plains and hillside villages. Walk in the footsteps of the Knights Templar or witness the heated conversations between Queen Margot and her husband Henri IV. Hike along beaten and unexplored paths, penetrate the undergrowth that covers the hillsides and discover a mysterious church at Saint-Julien that opens a window onto the valley. Finally, let yourself be drawn in by the gentleness of the Garonne below and leave the port under the benevolent gaze of Sainte-Marie, patron saint of sailors and boatmen.
