Donald & Charlotte MacJannet

History of the Tufts Prieuré
In 1958, Donald and Charlotte MacJannet purchased an 11th century monastery, Le Prieuré, in Talloires, France, which they renovated and then donated to Tufts University in 1978 for use as a site for education and cultural enrichment.
Now known as The Tufts University European Center, today the Prieuré hosts academic programs and conferences and events for government officials, businesses and non-governmental organizations. It carries on the work of the MacJannets in an institutional setting recognized for its dramatic beauty and noble purpose.
