South of Bordeaux, in Entre-deux-Mers , there is a geological curiosity: a cave of fossil oysters. More precisely, you will see it in the town of Saint-Croix-du-Mont , on the banks of the Garonne. This unusual geological site is dated almost 22 million years ago. It is a journey through time that is offered to you. All the more so when you turn around to admire the Garonne below, it's hard to imagine the sea level at this height!
