Template:Location Chateau Leblanc is a location in Final Fantasy X-2, originally the Guado Mansion home to the leaders of Guadosalam during the events of Final Fantasy X.
It is where the Leblanc Syndicate reside, with Leblanc living in the room that used to belong to Seymour Guado, while Logos and Ormi's have their rooms in the secret underground maze where the syndicate has established a "mission" room with a Sphere Oscillo-finder and a "treasure" room, with spheres, and other acquirements from other missions.
Story
Template:Sideicon
Nooj talking to Leblanc in the hall.
After Seymour attacked the Ronso, the Guado exiled themselves in the Macalania Woods. Leblanc set up her syndicate in Guadosalam with the manor, now renamed Chateau Leblanc, as her base of operations. After Leblanc and her gang infiltrate the Celsius to steal the half-sphere of the Zanarkand Ruins while the Gullwings were out giving the Awesome Sphere to one of the two Spiran parties, the Gullwings resolve to infiltrate Chateau Leblanc to reclaim the sphere.
After stealing some syndicate uniforms, YRP sneak in, and after Yuna massages Leblanc to help her fall asleep, the girls discover the secret passage to an underground maze. The YRP discover Leblanc already had the other half of the Zanarkand Sphere, find a Crimson Sphere, and meet with Maechen. Leblanc, Logos and Ormi catch up with them, but after losing to the YRP in battle, the groups put their differences aside and decide to investigate the Bevelle Underground together. The Gullwings might eventually convince the Guado to return to Guadosalam, forcing the Leblanc Syndicate out.
During the events of Final Fantasy X-2: Last Mission, it's revealed that Leblanc has moved out of Guadosalam to set up the Leblanc Syndicate in Mt. Gagazet.

The massage minigame.
Give Leblanc the massage of a lifetime! Watch her reaction and adjust your technique accordingly for peak pleasure.
- Objective: Satisfy Leblanc
- Reward: Gold Hairpin (complete minigame on first try) or Heady Perfume (fail minigame once)
Yuna has to fifteen tries to reach thirty-two points and satisfy Leblanc. Select the body part to massage on the 3x3 grid with the control pad and press 
. Blue spots are worth 0, green 1, yellow 2 and red 5 points. If the player fails to satisfy Leblanc on the first attempt, the point values are increased slightly: blue spots are still worth 0, green 2, yellow 3 and red still 5 points. Additionally, finding the red spot clears and resets the whole grid.
AP farming
There exists a good AP farming technique that requires a "Turbo" controller or other controller that can be "taped down". It can be done almost anywhere in Spira, but because the enemy formations in Chateau Leblanc consist of three, or occasionally four, not-too-strong enemies, this area is the best.
The player should play through the area till they reach an inlet with a save sphere. The player can change the party's dresspheres to almost anything they like, but unless the characters have reached high enough levels that they can defeat all enemies in the enemy party before they get in a hit, one character should be a White Mage. The others should equip dresspheres that have the Attack command.
The player should set the cursor to memory and initiate the first battle (remembering to stay in the inlet near the save sphere), preferably by walking directly into the corner closest to the sphere. When the battle begins, the White Mage should use Pray, and the other characters attack. After the battle, the player should take a livestrong bracelet (or something similar) and wrap it around the controller to hold down the , take another one, and wrap around the controller's movement joystick so that Yuna is walking/running into the corner. Once started up, the game will keep going and the party will keep reeling in AP with little to no maintenance.

Etymology
Chateau is French for "castle".
Leblanc (pronounced leh-blonk) is a contracted form of le blanc, "the white" in French. Blanc is the masculine form of the adjective; blanche is the feminine form.
Given her thieving nature, she may also be named after Maurice Leblanc, author of the novels about the master thief, Arsène Lupin.
