Very beautiful Romanesque church from the 12th century.

This neo-Gothic church was built to replace the dilapidated church of the Recollect Fathers, a men's convent founded in 1627. In the 19th century, the church wanted to encourage a revival of Catholic worship; it encouraged the construction of new religious buildings in Gironde. Thus, in 1856, the Saint-Géronce church was consecrated. Due to lack of space, its apse was oriented towards the south, contrary to what the liturgy provided. The organ, which has its original construction from 1861, is remarkable. Mass is celebrated there every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m.

The small port of Plassac is typical of the esteys of the Gironde estuary. It is in the heart of the ancient village with a Gallo-Roman villa. A Terra Aventura route, combining hiking and discovery, allows you to get to know Plassac better. During your visit, you can also admire mosaics displayed in the alleys of the village: they were created by the inhabitants and by the Babylon Mosaic workshop-boutique. A stepped earthen dike made it possible to shape the current configuration of the port, making it possible to create 44 places reserved for pleasure craft. A rocky groyne protects the entrance to the port. 22 gangways provide access to the boats and boaters can benefit from a water tap, electrical outlets and a light point. https://www.bbte.fr/equipements-de-loisirs/port-de-plassac/

The archaeological space of the Gallo-Roman villas (in connection with the site plassac.gironde.fr, property of the Departmental Council of Gironde) and the adjacent museum, is managed by the association of Friends of Old Plassac. The site is on the right bank of the Gironde estuary, about 3 km south of Blaye. The remains correspond to the residential part of a villa (agricultural estate). The architectures of the first construction, built around 20-40 AD. J.C. and the second built at the very beginning of the 2nd century AD. were designed in harmony with the estuarine landscape. The third state of construction dates from the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 5th centuries AD. This villa was decorated with polychrome mosaic floors from the Aquitaine school.

Church in town worth seeing. The market square with the hall is also worth seeing. Only the stupid one-way streets are annoying.
