Abbey, Saignon

This is a deconsecrated Abbaye down the hill from Saignon. It is now used for wedding receptions and parties of all kinds.

There was a wedding reception there every weekend we were in Saignon, and sometimes two going on at once.

The grounds are immaculate. The French have developed power tools that really shave foliage so that it looks smooth. We watched one day as a hedge on the way down to Apt was squared off, using levels, stringline and a lot of very careful work with one of those tools.
