Ambiance

Around 730, as Limousin became Christian, Duke Eudes of Aquitaine founded a priory at Bonnesaigne. In 1160, it became an abbey which applied the rule of St Benoit. This Abbey would later have an eventful history that will end with the destruction of this building. Following these events, the villagers used the remains as a stone quarry. We invite you to join us in searchingfor the stones that are still visible on the façades of some of the houses
