A remarkable Cistercian abbey, founded in 1133, with a superb park in Tanlay.
This Cistercian abbey, founded in 1133, was used as a stone quarry during the Revolution, and was then partly destroyed. However, buildings from the 12th and 13th centuries can still be admired, as well as a tower from the 15th century. At its peak, in the 13th century, the abbey had 150 monks, 14 barns, cellars, and six to seven mills. Three are still visible, but cannot be visited. As for the pretty park, it offers a labyrinth of yew trees.

Cette expérience a été unique en son genre même si l'essentiel des bâtiments a été détruit grâce à l'engouement de Delphine nous avons pu en quelques sortes vivre la vie de l'ordre des Cisterciens créé par Robert de Molesmes au moyen âge. Ce dernière voulait revenir à un ordre monastique des bénédictinà basé sur là rigueur, la chasteté, la pauvreté...Du moyen âge à la révolution française nous avons compris la vie de l'abbaye, le travail rude des moines cisterciens les sacrifices de ces hommes qui ont souffert jusqu'à la mort pour la plupart. Nous gardons un souvenir impérissable de cette visite grâce à Delphine et son association. Nous les remercions pour l'énergie qu'ils déploient pour faire revivre l'abbaye au prix de nombreuses heures de bénévolat.
Je recommande absolument ce lieu!
