Visit the church of Saint-Génitour to admire the Romanesque choir, the truncated columns, the relics, and a very large painting.

The Saint-Génitour priory was built at the end of the 11th century by the powerful Déols abbey. It was around this building that the lower town began to develop. In the 13th century, the priory chapel, extended by a nave, became the parish church.

The church was subsequently enlarged with the addition of chapels: one in the 15th century, two others in the 17th century and the last one in the 19th century, along with a canopy. A very large painting, Le Denier de César, hangs in the north transept. It is an early copy of a work by Peter Paul Rubens.

Eglise Saint-Génitour 36300 Le Blanc
Située dans la ville basse du Blanc, le clocher de l'Eglise Saint-Génitour s'aperçoit de loin avant que l’église elle-même n'apparaisse au détour des maisons. Belle extérieurement, elle offre au visiteur la découverte d'autres belles pièces, qu'il s'agisse de grotesques intéressantes, de tableaux magnifiques et de peintures murales dont certaines sont bien conservées. C'est en tout cas, ce que j'ai le plus apprécié durant ma visite.
