Transfer Fontevraud Abbey Paris.
The detained women leave Fontevraud in 1850, when they are transferred to Rennes.
The present chapter house of Fontevraud was erected under the Abbey of Louise de Bourbon,
between 1534 and 1575 from 1541.
During the installation of the cast iron community in 1101, the abbey of Fontevraud depended on Gautier de Montsoreau,
direct vassal of the count of Anjou.
On April 30, 1790, the mayor of Fontevraud, Alexandre Guerrier,
former monk of Saint-Jean de l'Habit, arrives at the door of his former convent with the municipality.
The Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, Western Cultural Center,
is a member of the European Network of Cultural Encounter Centers(forty members at the beginning of the twenty-first century in Europe).
Known as the“thousand-and-one-window prison” because of its inadequate prison architecture(too many windows and doors for escapes),
detention conditions were made more difficult and Fontevraud was considered the most important penitentiary center.
