Located in the heart of the Morvan forest, the Abbey of La Pierre-qui-Vire was founded in the 19th century. It owes its name to an imposing granite block "in equilibrium," an emblem of the place. An almost suspended atmosphere reigns here.

The Abbey of Sainte-Marie-de-la-Pierre-qui-Vire is a Benedictine abbey founded in 1850 by Reverend Father Jean-Baptiste Muard. The community is located in the heart of nature, in a wild, wooded setting, on the banks of the Trinquelin, a small stream that flows between granite rocks. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Sainte-Marie_de_la_Pierre-qui-Vire

A superb trail that runs alongside the Trinquelin in a magnificent natural setting. There are some sections that require some pushing, but the setting is so beautiful that it's worth it! The trail finally ends in front of the Pierre-qui-Vire Abbey.

The town was called Saint-Léger-en-Morvan, then Saint-Léger-de-Foucheret, before adding in 1867 the name of Marshal Vauban who was born in this place in 1633. Saint-Léger was given by the Bishop of Autun in 974 to the Abbey of Vézelay, then in the 12th century to the Abbey of Reigny. The church, under the name of Saint-Léger, is built on a terrace overlooking a small valley; with a cruciform plan, it includes a nave, a projecting transept and a choir with a flat chevet.

A wonderful place that takes you back in time and is historically important.

The name "Pierre-qui-Vire" (Peter-who-Vire) of this abbey, founded in 1850, comes from a natural feature: a loose rock that can be set in motion by simple pressure. Today, the stone no longer moves and is topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary. With its modern, clean lines, the abbey stands out. The community of monks who still live there make excellent cheeses. A word to the wise, gourmets.
