The River Senouire

Romanesque Auvergne

The Benedictine abbey, founded in the Middle Ages, turned the Senouire Valley into the 'Valley of God', after which the village is named. Boasting a Romanesque cloister and a Byzantine-inspired mural in its refectory, the abbey is one of the jewels of Auvergne’s religious heritage. The village's winegrowers' houses, with their golden stone and round tiles, reflect this heritage.
