During Heritage Days, September 19–20, you’ll discover this timeless place like never before. Its romantic gardens, surrounded by water; its unique Gothic architecture featuring vaults and arabesques carved directly into the stone; its refectory, unchanged for centuries; its sumptuous libraries, rarely open to the public…Guided tours will immerse you in the heart of the abbey’s fascinating history.
Right now, an exhibition celebrating 200 years of photography is on display there. You’ll be able to admire 19th-century photographs of the abbey, vintage prints, and unique glass plate negatives… In short, it’s yet another opportunity to discover our heritage in a whole new light!
