Abbey of Mortemer with a park, housing a museum in the basement that is worth visiting, with historical stories and legends
An air of mystery hangs over Mortemer Abbey! Nestled in the heart of the Lyons forest, this timeless site leaves no one indifferent. As you stroll through the grounds, you’ll admire the ruins of the 12th century Cistercian abbey, the largest of its time, set in a park of ponds and dovecotes. In the basement of the building, the museum lets you discover the historical stories and legends of the Dame Blanche and the Célibataires fountain. Continue your walking tour along the ponds and stop for a spot of fly-fishing!

Le musée est à pleurer.
Piège à touristes
Abbaye construite 1134 à la demande d 'Henri 1ier fils de Guillaume le conquérant... Dommage il ne reste que des ruines magistrales en revanche il est très agréable de flâner dans un immense parc avec ses trois étangs remarquables.
Je recommande très fortement.
Parcours agréable et très calme
Beautiful walk around the lakes. Take the the small detour through the woods to see the sculptures of French Kings.
Presented in a very French style, quite lunike a typical National Trust property.
Nous avons profité du calme des lieux, des tables mises à disposition des visiteurs, avons admiré les ruines et les animaux du parc.
Nous avons été très bien accueillis et reviendrons avec plaisir.
