The Ciron has fostered many activities: glassmaking, dyeing, washerwomen, or even water jousting during village festivals.

Thanks to the purity of its water, stable at 14°C, it is home to a wide variety of species, including trout, lampreys, eels and pike, as well as cistude turtles and otters.
The Ciron is also home to the oldest forest in France.

It is also home to the oldest forest in France: a beech forest over 40,000 years old, a subject of study by climatologists.

In the Sauternes region, the mists it generates allow the development of “noble rot”, the source of an exceptional wine.
Finally, the Hure river, which flows through the Sauternes region, is a major source of sunshine.

Finally, the Hure, which flows through Saint-Symphorien before joining the Ciron, also contributes to this remarkable ecosystem.
