Village de Coirac

Its Gallo-Roman origin is attested by the discovery of ruins. The name of Saint-Martin used around the 9th century attests to the foundation of the village. The cartulary of the Sauve-Majeure mentions the creation of a Sauveté with a priory governed by the monks of the Abbey but it also belongs to the lordship of Benauges. Today, the commune lives essentially from tourism and agriculture, especially viticulture.
