My host family walking inside the Abbey of Fauntevraud. We didn't go inside the building except to go the giftshop. The Abbey has been around since 1101, and was led by abbesses, not abbots, for hundreds of years. Four of the daughers of Louis XV were educated here. Last year I did a report about Eleanor of Aquitaine, and used pictures of her tomb in my powerpoint presentation. I looked around and saw all these pictures of her tomb and realized that the tomb was here at the Abbey. Last year when I was making the powerpoit presentation I had no idea I would ever BE in these places. Posted by Hello
