MEREAU CHRISTIAN

This review is of the actual Fort. But the tourist office was also fantastic. Don’t miss this UNESCO site! It’s fantastic ‼️‼️ plan on spending the day as there is so much to see in addition to the fort. Visit the galleries and restaurants inside and climb the walls and ramparts. Get tours through the tunnels and see the secret passage ways! It’s a a phenomenal fortress with incredible architecture.

Such a friendly team, we were welcomed with some local flavoured nuts to try, before being given a historical tour of the Fort which was truly amazing. The facts and historical stories of how the fort use to work over the centuries.

We meet with a Very informative lady with lots of tips and suggestions. She has a great map of the Citadel, and also a book on the vineyards in the region.

The Tourist Office of Blaye could not have been more friendly or helpful. The staff speak English perfectly and are very knowledgeable about the area. The office also has several displays of locally sourced products for sale. This is a very helpful spot for any assistance you may need.

Lovely place with beautiful views over the estuary. There are a few shops and even more restaurants. We didn’t eat there but I am sure it’s fine. There is information about the fort, which is in French and English.

Very helpful, informative and ofcourse English is spoken. Our visit today was excellently handled by lovely staff. Thank you

They do a great job

Niamone was fantastically knowledgeable and helpful. Great place to visit.
