Abbey De La Sauve Majeure-historien strækker sig tilbage til 1079, da en Benediktiner munk, der senere skulle blive Saint g Kurtrard de Corbie, grundlagde Notre Dame de La Sauve Majeure i den store skov, der ligger mellem Garonne og Dordogne-regionerne i et område kendt som L ' Centre de Mers. Klosteret voksede i betydning takket være den støtte, den modtog fra hertugerne af Akvitaine og takket være dens nærhed til pilgrimsfærden Saint jacks de Compostelle. Dens ry nåede sit højdepunkt i det nittende århundrede, da det var ansvarlig for 70 priories spredt fra England til Aragon.
Hundredeårskrigen bringer klosteret vanskelige tider. I 1660, selvom klosteret alt andet end er forladt, bringer Kongregationen Saint Maur, Mauristerne, klosterlivet tilbage til klosteret. Efter revolutionen bruges klosteret som kilde til sten, og den store kirke efterlades i ruiner. I 1840 er ensemblet klassificeret som et historisk monument og købes af staten i 1960. I 1998 sluttede klosteret sig til listen over beskyttede UNESCO - kulturarvssteder-langs pilgrimsruten Saint Jacobs de Compostelle.
