Built by a local landowner to atone for the rejection of his daughters, this Cistercian community was reserved for women and was founded in 1127. The pond and the woods of the region give this abbey an exceptional location. Walking along the outer walls of the abbey, you will finally arrive at the front door, and what a door! The original medieval portal is magnificent and is the only surviving example of any Cistercian abbey in France.
