La visite guidée très intéressante est bien menée et dure près d'une heure trente L'on y apprend beaucoup et notamment que ces fondateurs étaient très en avance sur le plan social et la manière de considérer leur personnel. En effet, les employés et leur famille étaient, par exemple, logés et soignés gratuitement et les enfants scolarisés sur place.
Très intéressant et le cadre près de l'Abbaye de Bon Repos est magnifique.
