Baume-les-Messieurs - The Abbey
Upto the French Revolution, the little village, next to the Baume-Abbey was called "Baume-les-Moines", as there was not much more than that. With the revolution it changed to "Baume-les-Messieurs" - and now, since it is one of the most beautiful villages in France ("Les plus beaux villages de France") - it could be changed to "Baume-les-Touristes".
Baume-Abbey is really old, going back to a settlement of irish monks around Saint Colombanus within the 6th century. 732 Saracens destroyed the monastry, that got refounded in the early 9th century during the reign of Louis the Pious by Saint Eutice, a disciple of Benedict of Aniane (see "Sélestat - Sainte-Foy"). End of the 9th century the Normans raided the whole of Burgundy - and Baume-Abbey was in ruins again. Berno refounded the abbey a second time - and had success. Actually he had such a wow, that in 910, William of Aquitaine asked him to be the first abbot of the new monastry in the village of Cluny, so by now he is known as "Berno of Cluny".
The walls of the passage-way between the entrance yard and the former cloister are covered with carved graffitis. Not oldones - compared to the nice carved capital.
