Very interesting Abbey. The cloisters remain fairly intact, but the remaining building is largely a shell but with interesting commentary. But a worthwhile visit. (Keep your ticket too because it gets a discount if visiting the Abbey at Maillezais.)

A magnifique place! I don't want to spoil too much your visit. I can only say that it is a combination of history and technology which gave me and my friends a very pleasant visit with a lot of fun and surprise. Yes, surprise, follow the visit till the end and i wish you would have as much of laugh as me and my friends did. Not very far from Fontenay, it's a perfect place for a short visit (half of day). Friend and family friendly ?

Enloy spending time here. The information centre is very original and I love how the buildings are renovated. The information given in the info centre and abbey is brilliant.

Nice museum. Presentation of music instruments with original sound. Many multi-media panels with different languages available but also scenes in French language only. It's worth to visit if you are nearby.
