L'Abbaye aux Dames sur le Web :

Historic monument from the 12th and 17th centuries

The Abbaye aux Dames is located on the right bank of the river Charente just next to the Saint-Pallais church.


Founded in 1047, the Abbaye aux Dames was had an enormous influence in the Saintonge region during the 745 years that the Benedictine nuns were in residence.


Over the years it was transformed into a hospital, a prison, and then an army barracks. Today it has been remarkably restored and once again is a lively institution through the various musical and cultural activities that take place year-round (Festival de Saintes, concerts, lectures, professional training courses, among others).




The Abbaye aux Dames may be visited every day of the year except from December 24th until January 1st.
