| rdfs:comment | - Valmagne Abbey was founded as a Benedictine abbey in 1138 but only twenty years later was attached to the Cistercian Order by degree of Pope Hadrian IV where it remained until the French Revolution when all Cistercian abbeys in France were confiscated by the state and either sold or destroyed. Valmagne escaped demolition and was sold intact to a Monsieur Granier-Joyeuse in 1791 who converted the abbey church in to a wine cave for the maturing of wine in large barrels, a function it continues to serve today.
