Saint Rémy-du-Val

The Logis de Moullins is the former home of the Abbes de la Couture dating from the late 15th century but it was built on the ruins of a 10th century priory. This amazing building is known for its graceful proportions, classic gothic facades and its elegant family chapel. Monsieur and Madame Favre, the proprietors, will be delighted to take you around the chapel, the old dovecote and you can view the outside of their home, while they explain how they lovingly restored the building.
