 Cluny Abbey was founded in the 10th century as a Benedictine monastery and was founder of the cluniac tradition which spread across France and England.  The Abbey survived until the French Revolution in the 1790s after which it was partially destroyed.  What is left only hints at the past magnificence of this Abbey
