Plazac (French pronunciation: [plazak]; Occitan: Plasac) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. It is near the village of Les Eyzies and the city of Sarlat-la-Canéda.
The bishops of Périgueux built a fortified residence in Plazac in the 12th-13th century. Its donjon was transformed into a bell tower in the 17th century. Its chapel is now the village church. One wing of the residence has been preserved. [3]
During World War II, Plazac sheltered the residents of Bootzheim ( Alsace) who were evacuated. [4]
