Le Verdon-sur-Mer

Le Verdon-sur-Mer (French pronunciation: [lə vɛʁdɔ̃ syʁ mɛʁ], literally The Verdon on Sea) is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

In the 11th century, the territory housed the priory of Saint-Nicholas de Grave, dependent on Cluny.

Le Verdon was initially only a hamlet of Soulac which was a distance from Bourg, which had lived off salt production for a long period of time.

The other main activities of the village are the exploitation of resources linked to the sea (fishing, oysters, shellfish, etc.)

Since the Middle Ages, Le Verdon has been known for its harbor, which is sheltered from prevailing westerly winds.
