Saint-Menoux and its débredinoire

Highlight • Other

In Bourbon dialect, a bredin means "a simpleton". The church of Saint-Menoux is known in the region because it houses a "débredinoire", a simple stone hole in a wall, which allows you to regain your sanity by sticking your head through it. Attention, the legend wants that the unfortunate one who bumps his head there recovers all the "bredinerie" left there by the predecessors!

Medieval Village of Souvigny

Highlight • Settlement

A medieval village in Bourbonnais, a major Cluniac site and former necropolis of the Dukes of Bourbon, this is a must-see. Stop by the abbey church, visit the local artisan shop, Chez Aristide, and stroll through the narrow streets. Don't miss the medieval festival at the end of July!

Priory of St. Peter and St. Paul, Souvigny

Highlight • Religious Site

Souvigny is a French commune located in the Allier department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Located in the heart of Bourbonnais, the city is the cradle of the Bourbon family, of which it was an important city of the lordship of Bourbon. It preserves an exceptional heritage linked to its affiliation with the powerful abbey of Cluny. In addition to the recumbent figures of the last Dukes of Bourbon, the priory church, the largest religious building in the Allier department, preserves the relics of several saints, including those of two abbots of Cluny who died in Souvigny: Mayeul, 4th abbot (died in 994), and Odilon his successor (died in 1049).

Priory church and necropolis of the Dukes of Bourbon

Highlight • Religious Site

The town of Souvigny was chosen by the Bourbon dynasty as the religious capital of its duchy. Thus, the commune became the necropolis of all the Bourbon lords.

Bourbon l'Archambault

Highlight • Other

City of character in the hollow of a valley in the Bourbonnais bocage. Known for its thermal waters since antiquity. It is also the cradle of the kings of France, as evidenced by the imposing medieval castle, clinging to a rocky promontory.
