Royal Abbey of Saint Jean d'Angely

Thanks to its privileged location in the Vals de Saintonge region, the Royal Abbey lies at the heart of Charente-Maritime and is ideally situated in the center of Saint-Jean d'Angély. Destroyed and rebuilt numerous times, the Royal Abbey, the town's most remarkable architectural complex, is a vast ensemble in the classical style, built in the 17th century.

Classified as a Historical Monument and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a stop on the Routes of Santiago de Compostela, the Royal Abbey is a prestigious place offering a setting conducive to reflection and conviviality, work and celebration.
