| Couvent des
Cordeliers (currenly the town's prison) |
|
| This convent was created in 1260. It was used
during the Revolution to imprison the victims of the Terror period, and since then has
kept this function. Its church was destroyed and only two buildings were preserved, and
used today to accommodate prisoners. One finds in the room of the medieval sculptures of
Saint Loup's museum some fine remains which let us imagine the past beauty of the
convent... |
