Saint-Andre-de-Cubzac

Few towns in Nouvelle-Aquitaine have a history as closely tied to the early life of Jacques-Yves Cousteau as Saint-André-de-Cubzac. The future naval officer, filmmaker and ocean explorer was born here in 1910. Set just north of the Dordogne River, the town lies in the wine-growing countryside between Bordeaux and the Gironde estuary. Nearby Cubzac-les-Ponts is home to a major Dordogne crossing, including a 19th-century railway bridge associated with Gustave Eiffel. Vineyards and working farmland give the wider area a distinctly rural character despite Bordeaux’s proximity. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
