Discovery trail of the low town and of the high town (City Hall, church Saint Génitour, Château Naillac…)
Description
The course of the Creuse River, dividing the town in half, influenced all its history: the Low Town, in the North, was built around the Church Saint-Génitour, along the Roman Road. It was dependent on the province of the Berry Region. The High Town, in the South, was located over the limestone hillsides surrounding two fortresses: château Naillac, in the Berry Region and the château Donjon in the Poitou Region which has disappeared. In the Middle Ages, a bridge linked both towns but it was brought down by a flood in 1530. For 300 years, people crossed the Creuse River on a ferry. The bridge was only rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century, leading to great town-planning work which gave Le Blanc its current aspect.
