ラ・ヴァイヴル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

サン・コロンバン修道院は8世紀に略奪され破壊された後、11世紀に再建されました。フランス革命中に世俗化され、小神学校、その後カトリック大学に転用されました。教区がこの広大な複合施設の維持費を負担できなくなったため、2024年にブザンソン教区によってパスカル・パリゾ氏とジャン＝イヴ・パリゾ氏に売却されました。以来、修道院は1000万ユーロ以上の費用をかけて全面的に改修されています。

ローマ人が最初の温泉施設を建設した場所です。この小さな町は、フランスで最も古い温泉地であることを誇りにしています。現在の温泉施設は18世紀に建てられたもので、ヴォージュの赤砂岩で作られています。その建築家は、アルク＝セナン王立製塩所の創設者であるクロード＝ニコラ・ルドゥーの弟子、ニコラ・ディドロでした。

A very impressive monastery complex.

The organ, originally dating from 1617, is worth seeing. The body is carved from wood.

The thermal baths are definitely worth a visit. Beautiful grounds all around.

The modern extension at the back is now a bit old and does not contribute to the beautification of the historic part of the building. More than a dozen warm springs (43-63 °C) already invited the Romans to bathe. The oldest thermal bath in France was built here in the 18th century. The historic thermal building, which has now been modernly furnished, is located in a park in the north of the city. (Wikipedia)

St. Columban of Luxeuil (died 615) founded the Luxovium monastery (patron saint: St. Peter) at the foot of the Vosges Mountains around 590. Columban soon received the requested protection of the Merovingian royal family and the local nobility for his foundation. In 610, however, Columban was expelled by Theuderic, King of Austria and Burgundy, and fled to Italy. After the monastery was destroyed by the Saracens and many of its monks were murdered around 732, it was restored as a Benedictine monastery by Charlemagne. The Benedictine monastery of Luxeuil joined the Congregation of Saint-Vannes in 1634, and the monastery was closed in 1790 as a result of the French Revolution. (Wikipedia)

Nice climb from the Val d'Ajol. Road in good condition with little traffic. Wooded and pleasant setting.
