Prieuré de Vivoin

The priory features thick stone walls, rounded arches, and sturdy columns that exemplify the architectural principles of medieval religious buildings.

Established in the late 11th century, this religious center became an essential part of the local community during the medieval period.

The priory maintains its role as a cultural center, offering conferences, exhibitions, and educational programs about medieval architecture and religious life.

Located just 1 kilometer from the SNCF train station and 3 kilometers from the national road, the priory provides guided tours in French and English.

Local villagers protected the priory from destruction in 1965, transforming it from an abandoned structure into a preserved historical monument.
