Seuilly Abbey

Highlight • Other

Built in 1095, this former priory was transformed into an abbey five years later, in 1100, by the Benedictines. The village of Seuilly being the birthplace of the famous French Renaissance writer and doctor, François Rabelais, it is not surprising that he began his studies in this abbey.

Great bike path on the Vienne. In parts it runs right along the shore, so you have great views of the river landscape.
