Libourne is an old port bastide which owes its prosperity to the wine trade. The central square with its arcades and houses from the 16th to the 19th centuries bear witness to the city's past.
The large stone bridge built in the 19th century with its 9 arches is 220 m long, it replaced the ferry which was the only way to cross the Dordogne.
The city has renovated its port area to accommodate cruise liners. 8 kilometers away, in the town of Vayres, a strange natural phenomenon occurs twice a year, at the time of strong tidal coefficients: the tidal bore. This important wave going up the Dordogne is a delight for surfers and also attracts many curious people.
