2000 years of history
The territory of Soulac-sur-Mer seems to have been occupied since the Bronze Age. During Antiquity, Soulac was obviously the end of a road called the Lébade (or Levade) that linked Soulac and the city of Bordeaux. In the books, Soulac's trace can only be found from the 11th century onwards, when the Benedictine monks established a first monastery in this rela-tively inhospitable region.
