Thanks to the presentation of our guide, come and experience the great Cluniac history of a simple Galloroman villa that will become one of the most important priories of the order of Cluny. The model made by the children of the schools of Sauxillanges will allow you to locate on the ground, all conventual buildings: common dormitory or cells, chapter room, refectory, boiler room, attics, stable, cloister ... All are still present, gathered around the great monastic courtyard. Only the two porteries and the large priory church were deconstructed. It’s up to you to find these different elements of an important architectural ensemble, yet today, invisible.

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Wood is attached to the many buildings of a complex architectural complex, corresponding to the important Clunisian monastery of Sauxillanges founded in the 10th century. Dedicated to the sick, the Gothic chapel stretched between the space reserved for the prior and the claustral space, a few meters east of the prioral church. The church was built, supported against the eastern wall of the building which housed the chapter room on the first level and the dormitory on the second. She communicated with one through a door and 5 steps and the other through an opening practiced in the tribune which allowed to attend the celebrations of the dormitory. It consists of a single four-bay vessel and a pentagonal choir. Its vault, supported by ribbed crusades, is decorated with a series of five beautiful keys of hanging vaults. Sold during the revolutionary period, it was used as a estaminet, then made metal canvases and finally home. In the 19th century, for example,
