The year 2024 marks the 900th anniversary of the birth of Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen of both France and England in the 12th century. The Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud in the Atlantic Loire Valley (Pays de la Loire), her final resting place alongside her husband Henry II and son Richard the Lionheart, is organising a series of initiatives this autumn and winter, inviting the public to rediscover one of the greatest female figures in history.
