PRIORESS OF CROIXVAL
Go there and contact
A priory with a barn and a house, where Ronsard spent most of the last twenty years of his life.
You can't visit the place, but you can see it from the roadside. It is the memory of Ronsard that hangs over the place, for the poet stayed here most often during the last twenty years of his life. The priory, which had been given to him by Amadis Jamyn, his secretary and later his calligrapher, was favored by Ronsard because of its proximity to the manor house where Couture was born. He loved to herborize there, trying to cure his gout with plants. The barn and farmhouse remain from the 15th-century construction (the priory was founded in 1195).
