Blanzay: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The Church of Saint-Hilaire in Blanzay dates from the 12th and 15th centuries and welcomes visitors. It features forms of late Gothic Flamboyant Gothic architecture, which date its construction to the 15th century.

The chancel termination of the Church of Saint-Hilaire was built as an extension of an earlier Romanesque structure; stones and part of the former walls were reused in the process.

The privately owned Château de la Maillolière is another destination to visit in the area around Blanzay.
