About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Founded in August 1226, by Hugues X de Lusignan, the Cistercian abbey was imposing by its magnificence. With its 70 m of length, the church represented one of the most important monuments of the South Vienne. Largely destroyed during the religious wars of 1585, it was rebuilt in the early 17th century, only to be sold during the Revolution. Only a part of the dining hall of the monks remains of the abbey.

Hugues' son, William de Valence, was born in the abbey, hence his name "de Valence".
