Captieux (in French pronounced as /kapsjø/; Occitan (post 1500);: Capsiuts) is a commune of Southwestern France, located in the Gironde department, Nouvelle-Aquitaine (before 2015: Aquitaine).
It lies near the border with the Landes and the Lot-et-Garonne departments.
The commune is in the east of the Parc naturel régional des Landes de Gascogne.
Between 1950 and 1967, the U.S. Army's 23,000-acre 571st Ordnance Ammunition Command (Captieux Ordnance Depot) was situated southwest of the village.[2] [3]
The Itinéraire à Grand Gabarit, a route which has been modified to allow its use by the oversize road convoys conveying body sections and wings of the Airbus A380 airliner, bypasses Captieux using a specially created private track about to the east of the village.[4]
