Surgères, Administrative commune in Charente-Maritime, France
Surgères stretches along the Gères river, featuring medieval walls, a drawbridge, and the Helene Tower within its historic district layout.
The town's strategic location led to the construction of a defensive castle in the 12th century during the period of Norman invasions.
The Notre-Dame church displays Romanesque architecture with intricate stone carvings, representing the religious heritage of the region.
The railway station provides TGV connections to major cities, making Surgères accessible from Paris, Bordeaux, and La Rochelle.
Surgères earned recognition for its butter production, becoming the first location in France to receive an AOC designation for dairy products in 1979.
