    We visited this Abbey on Christmas week. It’s a great combination of culture and nature. Good amount of information, not too much as it’s usually the case and a well marked tour.

    This was one of the highlights of our road trip in France. We happened to drive through the pretty town and stopped to visit the incredible abbey. It’s really beautiful and the guide you get on entry is great. Highly recommend to anyone in the area or passing through!

    Interesting place with rich history. For us it was also a plus that we could take our dog with us. We all enjoyed the visit so I would definitely recommend to check it out.
