Montmorillon 蒙莫里永
Montmorillon (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃mɔʁijɔ̃]) is a commune in the Vienne department, in the Poitou-Charentes region, in western France.
The clay mineral montmorillonite was named after Montmorillon after its discovery there in 1847.
Montmorillon is well known for its macarons, and has a museum dedicated to it. The Maison Rannou-Métivier is the oldest macaron bakery in Montmorillon, dating back to 1920. The traditional recipe for Montmorillon macarons remains unchanged for over 150 years.
