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.

Beautiful wild spot that can be partly explored by mountain bike on the northern part of the lake.

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

Great place to take a break!

The current church dates from the 16th century, enlarged in the 18th century. It is in the center of the village next to the town hall. A few steps away, in the main street, are the village shops, café, pizzeria and others.

Saint-Agnan lake is one of the last dams built in the Morvan regional natural park. Running over the top is always a sight to behold.

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.

A bath in nature around a granite stone Abbey.
