Go there and contact
Cistercian abbey classified as a historical monument, with a wine cellar, in Saint-Paterne, hosting various events.
Classified as a historical monument, the Cistercian abbey of La Clarté-Dieu was founded in the middle of the 13th century by the bishop of Winchester, Pierre des Roches. The abbots followed one another until the Revolution when the 5 remaining monks were expelled. The abbey was sold, and its church and the monks' building were dismantled. It was a buyout that saved it from total demolition. Rebuilt in 2002, it underwent a decade of work and then opened to the public and to many activities, from the wine cellar to music festivals and privatizations for events.
