Sainte-Croix-du-Mont shelters a geologic site unique in France with fossil oysters overhanging the Garonne river.
Those fossils oysters are 22 millions years old, and were piled up deep into the sea during the tertiary era and were overhanging the Garonne river valley after the tertiary era and the withdraw of water.
The erosion digged caves used today for wine tasting. From the caves there is a beautiful panorama on the Sauternes region.
