| The Abbey | ||
 |
This abbey was built in 1103 for Guillame 1st, under the guidance of the Cluny Cistercian monks. The influence of the abbey grew within the region up to the French revolution, where the monks where forced to abandon their dealings. The lands and buildings where divided amongst the local inhabitants. Until the early 1900s the buildings fell into ruins, when the abbey was purchased and very lovingly restored. Today the abbey has a thriving existance, it is occupied and cared for by sisters. You are welcomed to visit, explore and learn the history of this great Burgundy abbey. The abbey offers very comfortable and affordable accomodation and the restaurant serves traditional home cooking. |
