Medieval Village of Souvigny

Highlight • Settlement

A medieval village in Bourbonnais, a major Cluniac site and former necropolis of the Dukes of Bourbon, this is a must-see. Stop by the abbey church, visit the local artisan shop, Chez Aristide, and stroll through the narrow streets. Don't miss the medieval festival at the end of July!

Priory of St. Peter and St. Paul, Souvigny

Highlight • Religious Site

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).
