Pineuilh
Pineuilh (French pronunciation: [pinœj]; Occitan: Pinuelh) is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
Pineuilh is the most populated commune in the canton of Réolais et des Bastides, with 4,307 inhabitants as of January 1, 2014. Located in the Gironde department, on the banks of the Dordogne River, Pineuilh lies at the gateway to the Périgord region and a few kilometers from the Pays de Duras. The French National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) classifies Pineuilh as part of the Bergerac urban area.
The commune surrounds the bastide town of Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, in the Dordogne plain, and extends up onto the hillsides, forming a transition between the alluvial plain and the Entre-Deux-Mers wine-growing plateau.
Pineuilh borders seven other communes, including Port-Sainte-Foy-et-Ponchapt in the Dordogne department in two disjoint places, to the north and to the west-northwest, separated by Sainte-Foy-la-Grande.
The lower Dordogne plain, in which most of Pineuilh is located, is composed of recent alluvial deposits. These deposits consist of clayey-sandy silts and gravels, predominantly quartz.
At the foot of the hills, older alluvial deposits are found in narrow bands. These are formed of partially decalcified and reddened deposits (sandy clays and siliceous gravels, quartz, flint, granite, and some basalt pebbles).
The middle and lower parts of the hills are composed of Upper Eocene molasse. Together with the Fronsadais molasse, these form the slope of the hills. The latter is composed of sands of varying coarseness, sometimes accompanied by sandstone, or of clay generally rich in quartz and micaceous sands.
The upper part of the hills is wooded, it consists of a rocky ridge, the Castillon limestone: whitish lacustrine limestone from the lower Oligocene.
