From the information board: a berceau is a walkway through a tunnel of trees, also called a foliage walkway. This walkway was used by noblewomen who didn't want to walk in the summer sun. In earlier times, having the fairest possible skin was considered a status symbol.

You'll find the structure between the monastery, past the monastery garden, on the way to the former bakehouse and the heath.

In winter the tunnel is less impressive.
