After its foundation in the 12th century, Flaran Abbey experienced rapid growth. In the middle of the 13th century, the abbey, jointly with Gerald V, Count of Armagnac, founded the fortified town of Valence-sur-Baïse [1] on a hillside on the other side of the Baïse river. The abbey did not escape the vicissitudes of history, beginning with the Hundred Years' War, which ended with the Comté of Gascony being realigned with France. Engulfed by fire during the French Wars of Religion, the abbey was restored by subsequent abbots, but was suppressed and sold off during the French Revolution.

  • After its foundation in the 12th century, Flaran Abbey experienced rapid growth. In the middle of the 13th century, the abbey, jointly with Gerald V, Count of Armagnac, founded the fortified town of Valence-sur-Baïse [1] on a hillside on the other side of the Baïse river. The abbey did not escape the vicissitudes of history, beginning with the Hundred Years' War, which ended with the Comté of Gascony being realigned with France. Engulfed by fire during the French Wars of Religion, the abbey was restored by subsequent abbots, but was suppressed and sold off during the French Revolution. In 1913, the Gers Archaeological Society intervened so that the abbey would not end up in The Cloisters museum in New York City. The site was purchased by the department of Gers in 1972 and underwent an intense restoration project and is now the site of numerous cultural activities. The site houses a permanent exhibition on the pilgramage route to Santiago de Compostela (Way of St. James).
