Souvigny (French pronunciation: [suviɲi]) is a commune in the Allier department in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in central France.
The museums, gardens, annual exhibitions, and excursions to the priory attract a great many tourists every year.
Their sepulchres, which had fallen into oblivion after the ravishings of the French Revolution, were rediscovered by archaeologists in 2001 and 2002.
In 2010, the burial chapel was restored to mark the 600th anniversary of the death of Duke Louis II of Bourbon who is buried there.
While Romanesque buildings in the proper sense are not found here, influences from Auvergne, Berry and Bourguignon are combined.
