Le Blanc, Subprefecture in Centre-Val de Loire, France
The city of Le Blanc stretches along both banks of the Creuse River, dividing it into two distinct sections: Upper Town and Lower Town.
The first mentions of Le Blanc date back to 968 in the archives of Saint-Cyprien Abbey of Poitiers, marking its establishment near a river crossing point.
The town maintains two separate churches, Saint-Cyran and Saint-Genitour, each serving different sections of the population across the Creuse River.
Le Blanc provides essential services through its hospital, schools, and administrative offices, serving as a central point for the surrounding region.
In 1939, Le Blanc received over 2,000 Spanish refugees fleeing from Franco's regime, implementing specific quarantine measures for their accommodation.
