Taking a vow of a simple life, the Trappist monks of this Cistercian abbey devote themselves to prayer and manual labor. A farm, a brewery, and a cheese dairy have been established around the monastery.

Superb village

Thiérache, a land of historical passage, is adorned with fortified churches, from the Middle Ages to the 17th century.

Sublime in the winter mist, colourful in autumn, invigorating in spring and a real seaside resort in summer, the Lac des Vieilles Forges can be enjoyed all year round.

The Auberge de Poteaupré, brasserie-restaurant-hotel at Espace Chimay, is the ideal place to taste the products of Scourmont Abbey and the Chimay region. Located near the Notre-Dame de Scourmont abbey, it has welcomed its guests in a warm and rural atmosphere for more than 100 years. The dishes are a mix of tradition and gastronomy, and the lively atmosphere is reminiscent of an English pub where beer and Chimay cheese are served.

This village in the Ardennes forest is close to the source of the Oise.

Chimay, before being known for its superb castle, its monastic life, and its famous beer, is above all a forest town. The town is located in a clearing overlooking the Ardennes forest. It is at the Notre-Dame de Scourmont Abbey that the Trappist Cistercian monks make beer and cheese.
