What is the setting of The Heptameron by Marguerite de Navarre?

The foremost setting of this book is the abbey of Our Lady at Sarrance. It is early fall as the travelers make their way back to their homes from the spa at the town of Cauterets in France. As a result of heavy rains, the travelers must wait at this abbey until a bridge can be built so that they can cross the swollen Gave de Pau. The travelers choose to gather each day in a meadow on the abbey grounds in order to tell their stories and join in conversation.
