3.The Gironde estuary: the estuarine sea 

The Gironde estuary corresponds to the mouth of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers subject to the influence of the tides. It thus extends upstream from Bordeaux to La Réole and beyond Libourne to Pessac sur Dordogne and Coutras.

More commonly, the Gironde estuary is restricted from its mouth (Pointe de Grave) Boat on the Bec d'Ambès estuary which marks the confluence of the two rivers (Dordogne and Garonne).

Under the effect of the tides, twice a day, the water level varies by about 5 meters. The salinity of the water is important especially at the time of strong tides when the ocean waters penetrate abundantly into the estuary. However, the sea flow meets the fluvial thrust that opposes it.

This movement gives it its rhythm and the strength of its currents. Each year, 2 million tonnes of sediment are carried by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. This moving accumulation gives this cream color so particular to the waters of the estuary.

VI.History

(Sources: "Essay on the history of archeology in the canton" C. BASTISSE and D. PICOTIN The Vitrezais "Saint Simon à Blaye" notebooks and the one devoted to Braud and Saint Louis. These books can be consulted at the municipal library )

Sanctus Saturninus de Brau is the name found in the 14th century. Braud would be an abbreviation of Beraud, Saintonge form of the Germanic name Beroald, which means Old Lord. Based on the form "Embrand" which formerly would have designated this locality.

Several possible Braud ethymologies

The name of Braud could also come from the Gascon Braou which means Bull, a sign that this form of cattle was raised in swamps.

Municipality formed from the reunion of two former parishes: Braud, from the old French "Brai", mud, marshy place and St Louis, parish founded by the Duke of St Simon in 1656 and included in the town of Braud in 1802.

Origin of the name of the commune of Braud and Saint Louis

Braud would come from beraud, Saintongeaise form of the Germanic name berard, old lord "or from the Gascon braou," bull "sign that these cattle were raised in the swamps or even from the old French pitch," mud "," marshy place ".

The parish of Braud is mentioned under the name of Sanctus Saturninus (Saint Saturnin) de Braud.

The drying up of the marshes in the 17th century, at the initiative of Duke Claude de Saint Simon, governor of Blaye, was to transform the marshes into "good nature of arable land" and create villages. The drying up, the plots are allocated, the smallholdings appear. The number of inhabitants encouraged the Duke of Saint Simon to found two parishes: the parish of Saint Louis (all the part of the large marsh located between the Gironde and the ring canal, between the Canal des Callonges and that of Fréneau), in the honor of the King of France and that of Saint Simon.

The church, the presbytery and the cemetery built between 1665 and 1667 were destroyed during the Revolution of 1789.

After the Revolution, the parish of Saint Saturnin de Braud and the parish of Saint Louis des Marais united to form the commune of Braud and Saint Louis.
