The priory Saint-Genitour is built by the end of the eleventh century by the powerful Abbey abbey. It is around this building that the low city begins to develop. In the thirteenth century, the chapel of the priory, extended from a nef, became the parish church. The church then enlarges with chapel additions: one in the fifteenth century, two others in the xviie and the last in the xixe, together with a wind. Admire the Romanesque chorus and the grotesques that finish truncated colonnants, gothic chapels and relics of Saint Genour. A very large picture recently restored, Caesar's Denier, is hung in the transept. This is the old copy of a work by Pierre 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.
