Souvigny is a commune in the Allier department in Auvergne in central France.Today the main town of a canton of the Allier department, Souvigny has long been one of the major towns in the Bourbonnais (it used to be the capital of that region), and the royal House of Bourbon was based there. Ties with the nearby Cluny Abbey add to its rich history.
Souvigny was nominated “great regional site of Auvergne” in 1993 on the basis of its architectural riches, and subsequently, in 2003, it was made “great Romanesque sanctuary of Auvergne”.The museums, gardens, annual exhibitions, and excursions to the Priory attract a great many tourists every year. The conserved wooded areas add to interest for tourists.The Priory houses the remains of two abbots of Cluny who died at Souvigny: Mayeul, the fourth abbot (who died in 994) and his successor Odilon (who died in 1049).
