Abbaye Saint-Wandrille

The abbey is still inhabited by Benedictine monks. Please remain calm on the premises. Guided tours take place at 3:00 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Dogs are allowed on a leash. In the boutique you can buy all kinds of products that are produced in the abbey, e.g. honey, beer, beeswax products. There is also a model worth seeing that shows the original architecture of the abbey grounds. The path to the abbey is beautiful along the renatured Fontenelle river, which used to be a mill stream.

This is a very interesting church. Started as a romanic church (first half close to the entrance) and was extended with a gothic style (starts around the altar where you can see that the romanic arches where used to super-impose gothic arches). Notice also the collection of mostly stone statues of saints (and the Archangel Michael). Most of them have tags identifying the saints.

Dogs are allowed
