ABBEY OF VILLELONGUE
Former Cistercian abbey in Southern Languedoc Gothic style, listed as a historic monument, guest rooms on site.
Just 6 km from Saint-Martin-le-Vieil is the listed Villelongue Abbey. Built in 1180, this former Cistercian abbey is a perfect example of Southern Gothic architecture, typical of Occitanie. The monastic calm is barely disturbed by birdsong, the murmur of visitors, and the echo of footsteps on the cobblestones. The garden adds to the charm and confidential atmosphere of the place. If you'd like to extend the experience, guest rooms are available within the abbey itself.

Magnifique endroit, où règne une atmosphère paisible .On se sent tout petit par rapport à l'édifice !
Le jardin est très agréable également !
Une belle découverte.
En arrivant il suffit de se laisser transporter par l histoire de ces vieilles pierres à travers ce merveilleux et attachant conteur qui est Monsieur Jean "humoriste à ses heures" . Voyage à travers le temps et le monde grâce à cette famille de passionnés.
Pour conclure, imprégnez vous de l atmosphère du lieu ne cherchez pas à vous en détourner. Merci pour cet excellent séjour.
