Castets-en-Dorthe is a small commune in Gironde where the Canal de Garonne meets the Garonne River, creating a significant water junction in the landscape. The settlement sits at this convergence point, with waterways shaping its geography and relationship to the surrounding region.

The settlement functioned as an independent commune until 2017, when it merged with a neighboring municipality as part of a local administrative reorganization. This consolidation reflected broader changes taking place across the region's municipal structure.

The commune maintains traditional French administrative practices through its town hall, which serves as the center for local governance and community gatherings.

The location sits in a flat area near the Garonne water network, making it easy to explore on foot or by bicycle. Visitors will find local services and basic amenities readily available for daily needs.

The village marks the exact point where the Canal de Garonne joins the natural flow of the Garonne River, creating a strategic water transportation hub.
