Dun sur Auron (in olden days called Dun Le Roy) is a
medieval town with a population of 4,000 and was one of
the residences of King Charles VII (1403-1461) during the
times of Joan of Arc (1412-1431, 15th century). Dun dates
back to the Romans/Gauls. And was then called ‘Dunum
Regis’. Remember Astérix & Obélix?
Our residence (and that of our furries (cats, Arabian born)),
is 'Le Prieuré', built late 1400, (yes, over 500 years ago),
a 15th century Priory right in the center of Dun sur Auron
on Place Bourbon; or is it ‘Place pour Boehm’?
Le Prieuré was built as a residence for a Chanoine and
called ‘Hôtel de Chanoines’, and is as such listed in the
French historic register.
Nowadays commonly known as ‘Le Prieuré’ pronounced
‘pree-eh ‘ray’.
