Founded in 1068, the royal abbey remains one of the rare monastic complexes of Bas-Poitou to have preserved its three elements ("St Vincent" church, cloister and convent buildings) almost intact. It is now managed by the Department and open to visitors. The village is also classified among "the small towns of characters".
