Why editions of Houdiniere?
Because we live in the neighborhood of Houdiniere, itself located in the Faubourg d'Outre-les-Ponts, which is reached after crossing the river Thouet flowing at the foot of the castle.

The beautiful property of Houdiniere was, say, an appointment hunting lords of the fief of Montreuil-Bellay in the Ancien Regime.

New - The St. John's Hospital where the poor at the Hotel-Dieu, Montreuil-Bellay 1300-1800
Sigot Genevieve. 230 pages.
For the first time, the Hospital St. Jean de Montreuil-Bellay, a small town on the border of Anjou and Poitou, emerges from his distant past in this book accurate and exciting. With its decoding ancient manuscripts, Genevieve Sigot gives life to the chaplaincy and Hotel-Dieu of the past. With it, the hospital reveals its secrets, some well hidden in the shadow of its walls or under slabs of his chapel.
For the author, St. John Hospital is more than a monument or a charitable institution whose history, five or six centuries, would be "told", within the framework of a small town in France just like thousands of others like him . He becomes a character, comes alive through its hosts without whom it would not exist. Here are his or her prayer-governors with whom he is confused, here are the poor to whom it is intended and that give it its soul. With these
Poor nameless and property are at the heart of this study, the book becomes almost timeless Sigot Genevieve. Because the questions posed and challenge us - who are they? what their place in society? and what to do about them? - Are always present.
