NOTRE-DAME DE FONTAINE-GUÉRARD ABBEY
Féminine Abbey, a masterpiece of Anglo-Norman Gothic style, at the foot of a healing spring.
Nestled at the foot of a healing spring, this women’s abbey seems to have been forgotten over time. Founded in 1190, this masterpiece of 13th-century Anglo-Norman Gothic style, in all its Cistercian purity, offers visitors a troglodytic cellar, the ruins of the abbey church, a three-aisled chapter house, a workroom, the nuns’ dormitory and monastic gardens dotted with sculptures evoking the women who lived there.

You'll discover a troglodytic cellar, the ruins of the abbey church, the chapter house, the rib-vaulted work room and the nuns' dormitory.
