Valasse Abbey is a magnificent monastery in Normandy. Its construction dates back to the 12th century, and its Gothic architecture is impressive. It is surrounded by a vast green park, thus offering a peaceful and serene setting to visitors. Well-kept gardens and water features add to its quaint charm. Today, Valasse Abbey is a vibrant cultural venue that hosts contemporary art exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events. It is a great place to immerse yourself in history while enjoying modern artistic creations.

Valmont is inextricably linked to the impressionist Eugène Delacroix, who spent several summers here. In the abbey he painted several watercolors and paintings as well as the abbey itself. The image of the abbey hangs today in the Louvre. The Benedictine abbey was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt in the course of its history. The renaissance-style abbey collapsed in the 18th century and is now a ruin. Here you can find more information, also on the life of the Benedictines: http://www.abbaye-valmont.fr/
