Fontevraud Abbey is a unique place of culture. The immense building, whose construction dates back to the 12th century, houses a very beautiful permanent collection. There you can find, among other things, the very moving tombstones of Richard the Lionheart and his mother Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Today, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud also hosts a modern art museum, a very beautiful hotel, two restaurants, including a gourmet one, and temporary exhibitions. While passing through, you will find a reason to stop by!

The Royal Abbey of Fontevraud is one of the largest monastic communities in Europe dating back to the Middle Ages. It is a place with a rich history, located in the heart of the Loire Valley and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The abbey is a unique cultural site!

An abbey with a royal destination, a formidable prison is today a place of creation (museum of modern art).
