The abbey of the Chateliers,
considered the most important Cistercian abbey in the south-west of
France has suffered terribly down the ages, first at the hands of the
English, then during the religious wars. What remains of the structure
dates from a partial reconstruction after the English burnt it down
in 1625.
Many of the island's cycle-routes pass by this wonderful building.
Visits: free to discover on your own or in the company of a guide
according to the season.
Many different events take place on the site each year.
