Saint-Avit-Sénieur is a commune in the Dordogne department in Aquitaine in southwestern France. The most notable feature of the village is a massive church from the end of the 11th and 12th century. Next to the church, an abbey has been erected to honour the ermit Avitus, who died in 570. Avitus gave his name to the abbey and the village. The abbey used to house canons, disciples of Augustine of Hippo. It is now mostly in ruins. The size of the church (51 x 23 meters) can be explained by the fame of the village on the Way of St. James: one of the paths starting from Vézelay passes through this place. ==Situation== The village is located on a plateau near the Couze Valley. In the past, the place was called "Mount Dauriac". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint-Avit-Sénieur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
