Excellence, Our Finest Signature
One History, Many Stories
At the beginning of the 13th century, in a restless France where men built and destroyed, uncertainty affected the most privileged and the most destitute alike. The only possible refuge was faith in God.
In the Nantes region, near Machecoul, the monks of the Abbaye de Buzay rapidly grew their estate thanks to donations from neighboring lords.
The distance between Buzay and the lands of Villeneuve created practical problems for the monks. Duchess Constance of Brittany, a prominent figure in the region, proposed the creation of an abbey in Villeneuve, undoubtedly with the aim of redeeming her misdeeds and purifying her soul as well as those of her ancestors.
