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