Village de Castelviel

Castelviel is located on the watershed divide of the Garonne and Dordogne river basins, the highest point of the Entre-deux-Mers. Prehistory, the Gallo-Roman period and then the Middle Ages with the construction of the first castle (10th century) have punctuated its development. The Anglo-Gascon wars and then the Fronde left their marks. Today, its elevated position means that it houses a radio beacon for guiding and approaching aircraft on Mérignac but also a radio relay for all the fire stations in the south Gironde.
