Wonderful abbey, a place of cultural, spiritual and historical welcome. A thousand-year-old abbey to visit, survey its courtyard, its gardens, its vaulted gallery to go back through the centuries. Perhaps you will be accompanied by Cistercian songs interpreted by the vocal ensemble of the abbey.

Foundation in the 11th century. Church rebuilt from 1247 to 1286. Defensive works at the end of the 14th century. Abbey burnt down by the Anglo-Saxons in 1434. Reconstruction in the second half of the 15th century. Abbey plundered by the Protestants between 1564 and 1569. Maurist reform introduced in 1666 after the abbey had been abandoned for nearly a century: rehabilitation and restoration until 1746 (convent building, guest room, etc.). Abbey sold as national property during the Revolution. Destruction of the Gothic cloister in 1820. Major restoration work on the church and the abbey buildings during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Since its founding in the 11th century and until today, this great Benedictine site has gone through a thousand years of history now written in stone. Gothic, baroque and classical styles coexist harmoniously, recalling the alternation of painful episodes and glorious moments.

The abbey is a place of spirituality dedicated to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux and is therefore the ideal setting for recharging your batteries and meditating.
