Jarnac Boulevard in the suburb of Yaldhurst, Christchurch

Jarnac Blvd in Yaldhurst – Named after Jarnac in France. Jarnac is near the cognac area of France. In the Delamain subdivision. Named in 2007.

A small amount of amount of information from the library website. Don’t know why it says it is near Cognac area of France as it has producers of cognac here including the French part of the Delamain family. Jarnac is a commune in the Charente department of France. The best equivalent that I can think of to describe a French commune is the Christchurch District Council. There is probably better examples than this but can’t think of them off the top of my head. The most famous event in Jarnac in France was the Battle of Jarnac in 1569 in the French War of Religion.

Most houses on the street were built in 2010 and none really stood out for me but at least many of them had gardens. Cognac Reserve is partly on this street. I ended up chatting with a woman who knew all about geocaching. She doesn’t do geocaching but did the Otago Rail Trail with a geocacher. No photos but it seemed like a pleasant street to live on.
