Developed by Alcuin, the Abbey will take a considerable(significant) development and be at the head of 33 priories. The Abbey sheltered from monks Benedictines whose life was dictated according to precise rules(rulers). It was dismantled during revolution in 1791\. She(It) is today in her(its) archaeological state, best kept(preserved) and the most complete of the abbeys of Touraine.
