We owe the name of the Cordeliers in their original occupants who were Franciscan friars following the precepts of Francis of Assisi. This term was given to them at the 7th crusade, because of their clothes made of coarse cloth and a rope belt. While they originally inhabited outside the city of Saint-Emilion, the monks were allowed by the Pope in 1338 to set up their convent in the city.
The cloister of the Cordeliers was built at that time. In 1383, King Richard II of England ceded definitely a buildable parcel. Four centuries, until the French Revolution of 1789, the Franciscans occupied the site which then had a church, the courtyard, a winery, a winery, a cellar, a garden and a main building with six rooms .
