Curçay-sur-Dive (French pronunciation: [kyʁsɛ syʁ div], literally Curçay on Dive) is a commune in the Vienne department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in western France.

History

[edit]

Curçay grew up where the Dive could be forded; the ford was replaced at an early time by the Gallo-Roman bridge that in medieval times came to be ascribed to the intervention of Queen Blanche.
