Meschers-sur-Gironde, Coastal village in Charente-Maritime, France
The limestone cliffs of Meschers-sur-Gironde stretch along the Gironde estuary, reaching heights of 30 meters above the water and sandy beaches below.
The village evolved from a traditional fishing settlement into a residential area, with caves in the cliffs serving as dwellings through different periods.
Saint-Saturnin church stands as a central monument in the village, featuring architecture that represents local religious and architectural traditions.
The commune provides direct access to three main beaches: Nonnes, Vergnes, and Arnèche, each equipped with seasonal lifeguard services.
The network of Régulus and Matata caves carved into the limestone cliffs contains multiple chambers that were inhabited until the twentieth century.
