Charroux (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁu]) is a commune in the Vienne department, in the region of New Aquitaine, western France.
The remains of the Benedictine Charroux Abbey, founded in the 8th century, are preserved in the town. Said to be the site of the council of Charroux in 989 where the bishops of Aquitaine met to protect the immunity of the clergy and suggested that the church should guarantee that the poor might live in peace.[3]
