Centuries of history
The story of the house dates back to 1036 when a priory was built on this very site. By 1168, it had become the Cistercian abbey of Saint Léonard des Chaumes. However, in 1559, the abbey was largely destroyed by the Huguenots of La Rochelle, and in 1610, it came under the protection of Saint Vincent de Paul. His visit is still commemorated today by a cross in our garden.
While the abbey didn’t survive the French Revolution, the house was later built upon its ruins—using stones from the millennia-old structure. Perhaps this is why the grounds still exude a sense of peace and serenity, making them a perfect place for rest and reflection. We’ll let you decide…
If you’re a history lover or simply curious, don’t hesitate to ask us questions or explore the archival documents we have on-site.
