In this beautiful home built on the site of the old medieval St Etienne priory, monks found shelter in 1568 when their monastery called " St Jean en Vallée " was destroyed by fire, and remained there until the French Revolution.

Then the Chartres diocesan seminary settled in these walls up the time when, in the past few years, the Diocese turned it into a guesthouse for pilgrims or visitors with any religious, cultural or leisure purpose.
