Plassac

A short stop in Plassac is a must before arriving in Blaye!

Plassac is an ancient village located 5 km south of Blaye and its citadel. A Gallo-Roman villa overlooking the river was built in the first century. Two other palaces were built there until the XNUMXth century, the remains of which can still be seen. While strolling through the narrow streets, you can admire the contemporary mosaics created by Emilie Baudrais – a craftsman located in the village – and the locals: a boat in the port, a frame on the seawall, a painting next to the museum, and another next to the tennis court. The port of Plassac experienced very high activity in the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries. The construction of beautiful stone houses bears witness to this. The Virgin of Montuzet, perched at the top of the village, offers a remarkable view of the Gironde estuary.
