Comment
Until the 13th century, the monks at Paimpont monastery belonged to the Benedictine order, based on the Rule of St. Benedict. The Canons Regular of Saint Augustine then took possession of the site, until the French Revolution. Then, in 1790, the abbey was sold as national property, and the canons abandoned the abbey in favor of the parish of Paimpont. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Notre-Dame_de_Paimpont
