Make sure you stop by the parish church in the centre of the village.
For information, this church was built in the 6th Century. It was almost destroyed on many an occasion, and then was restored and improved in the 12th Century. The original architecture here will surely take you by surprise.
The port of Saint-Vivien
If you are looking for a peaceful break, come and wander along the little port in the village and then carry on walking for as long as you want along the shores of the estuary.
Idea for a trip out: Set off for the afternoon on a canoe or stand-up and paddle down the channel.
"From the Producer to the Plate" Visits
It is a tradition here to taste the meaty, creamy and lavish Médoc oysters. They are delicious accompanied with gambas on summer evenings in the traditional guinguettes, or directly with the producer at his estate if you just cannot wait any longer. So what are you waiting for? Come and try this activity and at the same time learn about the village of Saint-Vivien-de-Médoc.
