Charlieu in three films: abbey, medieval streets and the town today
Three films explore Charlieu’s Romanesque abbey, medieval centre and the enduring character of this Loire town.
Midi en France’s abbey report frames Charlieu through its Benedictine and Cluniac heritage. It is the most monument-focused video in this set and a useful introduction before seeing the portal, sculpted tympanum and cloister in person. The report makes the abbey the starting point for understanding Charlieu, but leaves time in its broader story for the town that grew around it.
