The town of Souvigny was chosen by the Bourbon dynasty as the religious capital of its duchy. Thus, the commune became the necropolis of all the Bourbon lords.

Dreamy place with old buildings.

In Bourbon dialect, a bredin means "a simpleton". The church of Saint-Menoux is known in the region because it houses a "débredinoire", a simple stone hole in a wall, which allows you to regain your sanity by sticking your head through it. Attention, the legend wants that the unfortunate one who bumps his head there recovers all the "bredinerie" left there by the predecessors!

Souvigny is a French commune located in the Allier department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Located in the heart of Bourbonnais, the city is the cradle of the Bourbon family, of which it was an important city of the lordship of Bourbon. It preserves an exceptional heritage linked to its affiliation with the powerful abbey of Cluny. In addition to the recumbent figures of the last Dukes of Bourbon, the priory church, the largest religious building in the Allier department, preserves the relics of several saints, including those of two abbots of Cluny who died in Souvigny: Mayeul, 4th abbot (died in 994), and Odilon his successor (died in 1049).
