A remarkable abbey in Ligugé, the oldest monastery in the West, with a guesthouse, perfect for a silent retreat.
In 361, the bishop of Poitiers, Saint Hilaire, offered Martin a Gallo-Roman site at Ligugé, where he founded the oldest known abbey in Gaul. Twenty-three monks live there according to the Rule enacted in the 6th century by Saint Benedict. Discover the parish church, cloister, religious bookshop and enamel museum. The latter features unique pieces made from paintings by artists such as Rouault, Braque, Manessier...
