Introduction

This old mayor’s residence (560 m2) was built around 1900 in St. Christoly de Blaye facing the central square, opposite the Roman church. Right next to the house, one can find, among other things, a small supermarket, a drug store, a tobacco store, a butcher shop and the local cafe with cozy veranda, offering nice food as well. About 40 km (25 miles) from Bordeaux, 13 km (8 miles) from Blaye with a ferry to the Médoc. Wine chateaus can be found everywhere in the surrounding areas. The famous St. Emilion at 35 km (22 km). Atlantic coast at 80 km (50 miles), with Royan, St. Palais sur Mer, Arcachon and Lacanau, the wind surfer’s Mecca!
