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.

Path of the pigeons: Every year between 1 October and 15 November, the wood pigeons pass the area in small columns, on their way to the warm south. This is the period when the entire south-west of France is infested with la fièvre bleue, the blue fever. Those who love hunting can be found in one of the palombières for six weeks.

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/

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