FLEURY ABBEY
Go there and contact
Abbey with a crypt containing the relics of Saint Benedict, a jewel of Romanesque art in the Loire Valley and a center of pilgrimage.
When we think of Fleury Abbey, we inevitably think of the poet and discoverer of many artistic talents and geniuses of the early 20th century, including Picasso: Max Jacob (1876-1944), who tragically passed away over 80 years ago. Most visitors to this abbey come for this major reason. Nevertheless, the vocation of this religious place is still initiation and formation in prayer, and anyone wishing to do so is welcome to do so. Accommodation is also available, subject to the retreat's rules.
