Paray-le-Monial (pop. 9,820), on the river Bourbince, is still a much frequented place of pilgrimage. The town grew up around a Benedictine abbey founded in 973. This was the place of origin, in the 17th century, of the cult of the Sacred Heart, inspired by the visions of Marguerite-Marie Alacoque (1647- 90, a nun who was subsequently canonized)
