Blanzay

Blanzay and its surroundings were occupied very early by man, as demonstrated by the discovery at the beginning of the century of a currency of Augustus in silver. If you wish to explore further the surroundings of Civray, a small detour here promises you nice visits. In particular, the blazing, ogival-style Blanzay church, which has undergone renovations in recent years to include a contemporary stained glass window. The 17th century castle, listed as a Historical Monument since 1990 for its tower, chimney and building, is also worth a visit.

While strolling in the streets of Blanzay, you will discover a rich rural heritage: wells, ovens, dovecotes, dry stone walls, four ponds (La Garde, La Jeune Balluc, Jesson and La Popinière). 

Finally, do not leave without a trip to L'escargouille: an outdoor snail farm. A guided and commented tour, followed by a tasting of products!
