Description
Clos des Jacobins owes its name to the Benedictine preaching monks who were baptized Jacobins in reference to Saint-Jacques, patron saint of the Parisian convent of the order. The Jacobins who lived on the outskirts of the city used the buildings of the farm to welcome pilgrims on the way to Santiago de Compostela and the vineyard to produce their wine which then provided them with the bulk of their income.
