From Wikipedia is the following section.
The Gironde is an estuarine in south-western France, which extends from the confluence of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers to the transition to the Atlantic in the Bay of Biscay. It is 75 kilometers long, up to 15 kilometers wide and runs in north-northwestern direction.
On the left bank, the entire length of the vineyards of the Médoc, a low-lying, gently sloping landscape with sedimentary subsoil (gravel and gravel), which is due to its permeability for the wine making excellent. The best locations are those that "see the water", d. H. lie within the special microclimate designed by the Gironde: the light is reflected by the large surface of the water and heat is stored, so that the conditions for grape ripeness are optimal.

Plassac
Highlight • Settlement
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
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
