Paraclete Abbey was founded by the famous medieval lovers and scholars, Pierre Abélard and Héloïse, in the 12th century. You can explore the remains of the abbey's buildings, such as the 17th century abbot's house, the 16th and 17th century monks' cellar, and the 19th century chapel. You will also be able to see the obelisk which marks the place where Abelard and Héloïse were buried. The abbey is open from July 15 to August 29, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The entrance price is 5 euros per person. The abbey is set in a picturesque valley surrounded by woods and fields, and you can admire views of the countryside as you walk along the paths.
