Creator's Key Takeaways

The shuttle drops us right into the heart of Sulac. And the first thing you notice is how walkable and friendly this little town is.

It's lined with pedestrian streets full of shops, cafes, and local vendors. There's such a relaxed, welcoming vibe here.

The weather was absolutely perfect. Blue skies, sunshine, and that refreshing sea breeze.

Sulac actually has its very own Statue of Liberty. It's smaller than the one in New York, of course, but it's such a fun surprise to stumble across here by the beach.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the free shuttle from the ship to explore the town.
Wander the pedestrian streets for shopping and local food.
Visit the Basilica of Natraan deafen deter, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Check out the beach and the local Statue of Liberty.

A Surprising Day in Soulac, France | Basilica, Shops & Statue of Liberty! Join us as Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady cruise ship makes a stop in France! Since the ship is too large to sail directly into Bordeaux, we hopped on the free shuttle to the charming seaside town of Soulac-sur-Mer. In this video, we’ll take you along the pedestrian streets filled with shops, local vendors, and French food stalls. Kirk even finds himself a new belt while we admire the lively market atmosphere. We’ll visit the stunning Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-la-Fin-des-Terres, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and stop at several local monuments that share the history of this area. After weaving through the shops, we’ll head to the beach where we discover Soulac’s very own Statue of Liberty—a hidden gem you probably didn’t expect to see in France! With beautiful weather, sea breezes, and plenty to explore, this port stop was the perfect way to spend the day. Whether you’re sailing on Scarlet Lady or planning a future cruise to France, this video will give you a taste of what makes Soulac-sur-Mer such a fun and surprising destination. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you won’t miss more of our cruise adventures on Virgin Voyages and beyond!
