Chambon sur Voueize is a remarkable village, located in the east of the Pays de Combraille en Marche, in the heart of the Tardes valley. Its beautiful houses with brown tiled roofs are nestled around the imposing abbey of Saint Valerie. On every street corner, the past seems to resurface, and we like to discover the traces of the activities of the past such as tanneries, millineries, the court, the prison, the hospital…
Already known in the Gallo-Roman period, Chambon sur Voueize owes its development to a monastery founded in the 9th century. Around 985, most of the relics of Saint Valerie, which had been preserved until then in Limoges, were transported there. This treasure contained by a silver reliquary bust arouses curiosity and humility. Thus, the village became a place of pilgrimage and the imposing Romanesque abbey was built.
