The foundation charter of the Benedictine Abbey of Sainte Marie de l'Orbieu dates from the end of the 8th century, even if another building probably existed on the site before the Carolingian period. A 13th century manuscript, Philomena's legend, tells the story of the legendary foundation of this abbey. www.payscathare.org/histoire-13
