Owner description:
Founded in 1047, the Abbaye aux Dames was had an enormous influence in the Saintonge region during the 745 years that the Benedictine nuns were in residence. Over the years it was transformed into a hospital, a prison, and then an army barracks. Today it has been remarkably restored and once again is a lively institution through the various musical and cultural activities that take place year-round. Self-guided visits, audioguides or guided visits.
