Historical background


BURGUNDY - TOURNUS - ABBEY OF TOURNUS

(12th century)

Tournus Abbey was first placed under the patronage of Saint Valérien because it housed his tomb. In 875, following the Norman invasions, Charles the Bald gave the monks of Noirmoutiers the Abbey of Tournus where they transported the bones of Saint Philibert. In 889, King Eudes granted the abbey the right to mint coins (Poey d'Avant, p. 181).
