It was once the Notre-Dame chapel, the Catholic and cultural center of the parish of Ile du Carney, as well as the site of bloody battles between the king of Burgundy and the pagans of the north….
Benedictine priests continued to live there until the French Revolution. The last of them was Father Anthony Tesseydre, born in Auvergne around 1724, nicknamed “the priest of Carney Island”.
Historically, this chapel was not only a religious center, it also hosted boatmen who transported barrels across the Dordogne, with the wines then shipped around the world.
