Abbey of Saint-Symphorien, Autun

It was suppressed in the French Revolution and the surviving premises are now privately owned.

It was listed as a monument historique in 1993 for its buildings and given classified status in 1994 for the perimeter wall.

Saint Germain of Paris (d. 576) was abbot here, as was Virgilius of Arles (d. October 610).

Saint Marius of Avenches, bishop of Lausanne in the 6th century, was from the region of Autun and was believed to have been educated here.

[3] Among the abbey's properties was the priory church of Saint-Symphorien in Champagne-en-Valromey (1055), in the deanery of Ceysserieu.
