Paulliac

One of the region’s finest old wine towns, home to names like Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Latour, Paulliac's waterfront is lined with villas that reflect wealth acquired from the wine trade. Filled mostly with pleasure craft today, the marina hosts a small bronze sculpture of the ship Victoire in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, who embarked from here on his journey to aid in the American Revolution.
