The commune takes its name from its Latin name, Blacciacum. A Gallo-Roman settlement is attested by the discovery of the remains of three Gallo-Roman villas, dating from the 1st to the 5th century AD. These remains were found near the current site of the church, not far from the Gironde. During the medieval period, the village's center of activity seems to have shifted to the heights overlooking the river. This is evidenced in particular by a hoard of Merovingian coins discovered around 1850 at a place called Montuzet (Mont des Yeuses).
The lower Plassac region, around the port, was heavily involved in river and maritime activity in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Merchants and ocean-going captains settled in beautiful stone residences. This river activity gradually declined in the 20th century.

Port of Plassac

Highlight • Structure

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. bbte.fr/equipements-de-loisirs/port-de-plassac

Citadel of Blaye

Highlight • Historical Site

In the urban area north of the river port of Saugeron is the 17th century citadel of Blaye, which has an early Roman fortification. In 1652, under the direction of Field Marshal and engineer Blaise François Pagan (1604 - † 1665) began a first fortress expansion. In the same place under the engineer François Ferry (1649-1701) from 1680 and 1689, the well-preserved citadel was built, the work had been under the control of the fortress builder Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban (1633-1770). The Citadel of Blaye belongs together with Fort Pâté (on the same Gironde island) and Fort Médoc since July 7, 2008 under the name "Verrou Vauban" UNESCO World Heritage.
