    The gardens and access to the ruins and the dovecote of the old abbey is free, open only on weekends from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. - in access from the abbey car park, and the other possible access is via Chemin Jean Racine

    The Port-Royal Abbey is sadly famous for its 17th century Jansenist monks, opposed to the Jesuits, and therefore to the advisers of the Sun King, who ordered the destruction of this landmark of protesters in a green paradise. Two great writers have been there, Blaise Pascal and Jean Racine.
