First of all, this domain is private, and inhabited. This means that it is not open to the public. The facade is monumental. With a bell to signal the visitor who would like to invite himself. Almost overwhelming when you detail this entry! Past the porch which continues for several meters, in order I think, to be able to park the time to get off a stagecoach, sheltered from bad weather, we reach a huge interior courtyard, rectangular, with trees in the French style, and closed by buildings. House, in front of your gaze, with many windows, the rest being outbuildings: huge stables. What remains of the abbey? Actually, I don't really know. This place had to be converted into a stud farm, I think. Tiles with tiled roofs are fixed at the corners of this mass of buildings. We notice at first glance, an advanced state of dilapidation on all the buildings. Tired blankets (roofs). Yesteryear, this place must have been really pleasant to discover and for me, it is this monumental entrance which remains the particularity of this place, unique entrance in its architecture and which lets the imagination run wild ... on the history of this abbey. If you have the opportunity to walk around the exterior of the abbey, you will discover the ruins of a forge - I believe - and an oven. Too bad, because the place surrounded by greenery leads to reverie.
