Its history is greatly due to its geographical location, namely at the confluence of three rivers. It is thanks to the river sailing that the city has greatly contributed to commerce. Vessels arrived at the port loaded with casks of wine from Bordeaux and left loaded with other commodities. Traffic and business was without doubt very intense. For an interested and keen tourist, there are ways to trace back the commerce in question.
The various old harbours are in the vicinity of the B&B and are well worth a stroll.
