Saint-Andre-de-Cubzac: A10 au nord de Bordeaux, vue sur la droite orientée vers Paris et sur la gauche vers Bordeaux
Few places in Nouvelle-Aquitaine have a history as closely tied to the Dordogne River as Saint-André-de-Cubzac. Set north of the river’s lower reaches and of Bordeaux, the town belongs to the Cubzaguais, a wine-growing area on the right bank. Its setting has long been shaped by routes between Bordeaux and northern France; today the A10 motorway and a railway corridor run through the surrounding lowland. Saint-André-de-Cubzac is also the birthplace of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, born here in 1910, whose work as a naval officer, explorer and filmmaker brought marine science to a global audience. Vineyards and river-country settlements frame a town linking the Bordeaux urban area with the Gironde countryside.
