rue Notre Dame, 49260 Montreuil-Bellay · Le Puy-Notre-Dame, SAUMUR, France
Le Puy (Podio beatae Mariae) in the 7th century had become known as Puy-la-Montagne by 1793 and the hill of Puy as Mary's Mountain. William 9th, Duke of Aquitaine is reputed to have brought back a waistband of the Virgin Mary from the Crusades and deposited it in the church. His granddaughter Eleanor of Aquitaine founded a collegial church to honour the relic which, according to legend, facilitated pregnancies and male offspring.
