Le Blanc - Saint-Cyran
Le Blanc is located on the border of Berry, Poitou and Touraine and could "guard" a ford to cross the Creuse. The river actually divided Le Blanc into a "lower town" (Berry) and an upper town shared between Berry and Poitou.
There were two border-fortresses here. Saint-Cyran in the upper town was erected in the 12th century right next to the Château de Naillac, served as a castle chapel and was included in the fortified enclosure.
The church got remodelled and enlarged in Gothic times.
Another well-worked capital. Two birds share one head. I'm not an ornithologist, maybe you: which species? My guess is a ruff bird.
