Cistercian abbey with porter's house, open for tours and events, near Falaise.

Just 7 km from Falaise, this former Cistercian abbey, founded in 1127 and listed as a historic monument, is open to visitors. Surrounded by 2 km of walls and featuring a 13th-century gatehouse, it exudes an atmosphere of tranquillity. The remains of the cloister near a 15-hectare pond date from the 18th century. Also worth seeing are the tithe barn with its restored roof of 50,000 old tiles, and the one-hectare park (much younger, since it was created in 1981).

Désolant !

A voir absolument si vous êtes dans le coin. Le propriétaire,Patrice Rocher, vous fera visiter les lieux et vous expliquera avec passion comment il a entrepris la restauration de ce lieu depuis 1976.
