Marchenoir (French pronunciation: [maʁʃənwaʁ]) is a commune in the Loir-et-Cher department of central France.[3] The nearby forest of Marchenoir was the site of L'Aumône Abbey, a Cistercian daughter house of Cîteaux Abbey. The Earl of Buckingham stayed at the Abbey in 1380 whilst his army was quartered in the Forest.[4]
History
[edit]In 1650 Claude Pajon was appointed to be pastor to the Reformed Church at Marchenoir.[5]
The husband and wife comedians Raymond Bussières and Annette Poivre are buried in the Marchenoir cemetery.
