Tourist Information and places to visit

Saint-Benoit du Sault, a classified 'most beautiful village in France', is in the very south of the Centre region, near the borders with both Limousin and Poitou-Charentes.

The village owes its origins to the benedictine monks who established themselves in the area around the 10th century, having chosen the site on a raised rocky outcrop because of its defensive advantage.

The village of Saint-Benoit du Sault that you visit today, with its pretty narrow streets of medieval houses, dates from the 15th-16th century. The centre of the town is around the church, the priory and fort.

The Church St Jean Baptiste is one of the earliest examples of roman style architecture to be found, dating from 1020. The priory, at the end of the rock outcrop, dates from the 15th century.

The streets around the fort are the oldest part of Saint-Benoit du Sault - apart from the medieval houses, you can also see the fortified gate and the belfry.

The tourist office in the town can provide a leaflet that details all the points of interest as you walk around the village.
