The Saint-Étienne church, built during the nineteenth century in a neo-Gothic style, is characteristic of the Catholic religious buildings of the region at the time, sporting an essential “Donnet” bell tower.
2.The Tramasset du Tourne
The Tramasset du Tourne construction sites, also identified for a study relating to the industrial heritage of the Gironde, are also subject to protection as historic monuments.
The association which has taken over, on the historic site, the activity of the wooden naval framework workshop, builds and restores fishing, transport or pleasure boats, longlines, barges or ketches, such as L'Audiernais, the Deux Frères, the Albarquel or the Leenan Head.
The old Tramasset shipyard existed since 1837. It was part of the 6 shipyards of Tourne and Langoiran which built skiffs, spinners, coureaux, barges and fir trees during the period when the wooden boats provided transport on the river. Garonne. This flourishing business employed up to 40 workers in the 1930s. In decline since the early 1960s, Les Chantiers Tramasset was finally closed in 1985 and abandoned. The town hall of Tourne then decided to buy the buildings and the Les Chantiers Tramasset association was created in 1997 to bring these historic places back to life. The site was classified in the inventory of Historic Monuments in 2008.
The association of the same name, created in 1997, has taken over this heritage site on the banks of the Garonne, abandoned since 1985.

VI.History
A brief history of the coat of arms
In our minds, the coats of arms are linked to an ancient phase in history: they are linked to the Middle Ages, its lords and its feudal castles. In their most usual form, these signs of recognition actually relate to an individual or his lineage and are assembled on the field of a shield that evokes the shield of Lancelot or Ivanohé.
It is in fact considered that the coat of arms became widespread around the 10th or 12th century to allow knights made anonymous by their harness (chain mail, helmet, armor, etc.) to identify themselves on the battlefields. Very quickly, they ceased to be the exclusive attribute of the warrior aristocracy to be adopted by the aristocracy of less military merit and by the bourgeois more or less ennobled by the purchase of offices, land or accession to the dominant strata of society. The great ecclesiastical institutions and the municipalities, which emerged at the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries, also did not fail to affirm their social and political position by adopting coats of arms.
The parishes, on the other hand, did not have one, but the communes which overlap with the parishes of the former regime manifested from the first decades of the 19th century a certain propensity to acquire coats of arms which enabled them to assert their identity; the law of April 5, 1884 allows them to establish them as they wish.
This is how heraldry is found to have been considerably enriched under the different republics and that the smallest municipality can, like a prince of blood or like the largest cities in France, display on its letter paper or on its street signs. a tailor-made coat of arms.
Furniture (object signs or animal and human figures) and enamels (metal: gold or silver color and colors: mouth = red, azure = blue, sand = black, green = vert, gray-brown = purple, orange-brown = tanned) allow an infinite variety of combinations of images which make heraldry a world teeming with great plastic richness which can also be seen as a gigantic collection of charades.
The tidal bore
Several hundred people come to see him as he passes. Some people compare it to a tsunami, it is the cause of many of our ills, it moves us a little more each time it passes, the eddy it causes puts the mud in suspension, it's dirty, it is muddy, it contributes to the erosion of the banks but despite everything it is a star!
The tidal bore, an Occitan word passed into French, is a phenomenon of sudden elevation of the water in a river or estuary caused by the wave of the rising tide during high tides. It occurs in the mouths and lower reaches of some rivers when their current is thwarted by the flow of the rising tide. The most spectacular tidal bores can be seen at the mouths of the Qiantang (China), the Severn (England) and the Amazon (Brazil).
This phenomenon is characterized by a wave, more or less high, which goes up the course of the river and whose power varies according to the height of the tide, the flow of the river at that time and the topography (depth and width of the bed. , sandbanks, meanders, declivity etc.).
The development of the river can make it diminish or disappear, as for the Seine. It’s a wave, breaking or not, moving upstream, usually increasing as its bed narrows.
In pretty words
Tidal bore, the moon wave
Extract from "Tidal bore, the lunar wave", Antony colas, Ed.Yep
Mascaret_couvAegir, baan, barre, benak, bono, boron, flot, guanchao, pororoca or repoul: so many names to designate the tidal bore, that palpitation of great watchmaking that is the tide, which manifests itself here and there in a small twenty countries.
And among the 78 rivers affected by this phenomenon, still poorly understood by the scientific community, France, with its many estuaries and its formidable tidal amplitudes, stands out as a hotbed of this most predictable natural spectacle. Unlike the lightning we see before we hear it, the tidal bore can be heard before it is seen.
The tidal bore is the untold story of a wave, which can ascend shallow rivers for several hours, a rare and fragile result between the calm of the downdraft and the tumult of the rising tide. Formerly, the Seine suffered a colossal bar, which caused shipwrecks and drownings.
In Gironde and in the Bay of Mont St-Michel, it propels a nice breaking wave, which can attract hundreds of sliders of all stripes and thousands of spectators. And from there our borders, it is a world tour which passes by our British neighbor, by the high latitudes of Canada and Alaska, by the fluvial Himalayas that is the Amazon basin and finally by the terrifying and unexpected spurts of Asia.
The old station and the Bordeaux-Cadillac tram line
At the entrance to the village, on the road to Bordeaux, is the Tourne-Langoiran tram station. This station was the most important between Latresne and Cadillac.
Today, the building serves as a school canteen and rehearsal space for the Musiques Lab association.
Inaugurated in April 1897, the Bordeaux-Cadillac Tramway was a great success from the outset. During the first year of operation, 364,982 people were transported. The traffic continued to grow to reach a maximum of 494,949 passengers carried in 1902. Having survived the First World War, he did not see the second because in 1933 a bus service was established. It competed strongly with the tram, considerably reducing traffic. Moreover, the cost of modernization being too high, it was decided to close the line in June 1935.
The tram had caused the death of river transport on the Garonne, and itself was replaced by road transport.
It took about 2 hours to travel the 30 km of the line. It took approximately the route of the current RD 10 and had 24 stops. The 5 daily trains were supplemented by specific trains on Sundays and public holidays. The theater train left Bordeaux at 12:30 am and brought spectators back to their homes.
Thirteen locomotives transported passengers and goods and bore the names of the rivers encountered on the line (Pimpine, Euille, Gaillardon, Artolie, Laubès and Garonne).
Today, only 7 stations (Latresne, Camblanes, Esconac, Tabanac-Rouquey, Le Tourne, Lestiac and Paillet) remain out of the original 14.
