Saint-André-de-Cubzac, Administrative commune in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.
Saint-André-de-Cubzac is a commune in the Gironde department of southwestern France, spread across rolling terrain shaped by river landscapes. The municipality combines rural character with modern infrastructure, blending agricultural areas and residential neighborhoods.
The commune grew from a small settlement into an important regional center, shaped by its connection to maritime traditions and the birth of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, a pioneer of ocean exploration. Over time, it transformed from a rural village into a functioning modern community.
The people of this commune, called Cubzaguais, carry a strong connection to ocean exploration because the renowned marine scientist Jacques-Yves Cousteau was born here and rests in the local cemetery. This heritage shapes how residents understand their relationship with the sea and conservation.
Administrative services are available through a France Services office that offers assistance during regular business hours throughout the week. Visitors planning to use local facilities should come on weekdays when offices and shops are fully operational.
The land holds Nummulite fossils, remnants of an ancient sea that covered the region millions of years ago, revealing its geological past. These fossils remain visible in certain areas and offer clues about how the landscape has changed over time.
