It had been a wee while since we last visited Le Blanc, so on Saturday we decided to put that right with a relaxed stroll around the town. Nestled on the banks of the river Creuse, Le Blanc never fails to charm with its quiet streets, riverside views, and timeless atmosphere. Whether it’s the winding lanes of the upper town, or the peaceful hum of the Saturday market, there’s always something grounding about being back here.
On this occasion we decided to head over the bridge to the high town.
On arrival at the top of the town, we made our way to the Château Naillac, perched proudly above the Creuse River with its commanding views.
Today, the château houses the Écomusée de la Brenne, a space that tells the story of the region’s natural and human history.
It’s currently hosting an exhibition running until 9th November, this special exhibition explores the Hundred Years’ War and its profound impact on the Brenne and surrounding regions. Through a series of informative photo boards (with English translations), it traces shifting borders and the lasting scars the conflict left on daily life. By grounding a complex historical chapter in a deeply local context, the exhibition invites visitors to see familiar landscapes through a whole new light.
