At 6€ per adult this is amazing value and large site to discover most of which in good condition for a ruin. Very enjoyable visit indeed. Vaut le détour, un grand site à explorer et découvrir. Merveilleux.

Didn't go into Abbaye as it was very busy. However, did walk around ground and stop for coffee in the tea shop. Both very enjoyable.

?The Beauport abbey? ⚫Located in the town of Paimpol , northern Brittany , France. ⚫It is one of the most visited abbeys in Brittany and an interesting example of the early use of gothic style architecture. ⚫The abbey was originally founded in the 13th century, overlooking Paimpol Bay and covering an area of almost 125 hectares. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚫It was an influential abbey that controlled extensive lands both in Brittany and in England. ⚫The abbey also had income from local farmers and from trade in Paimpol Bay, so it became quite wealthy for several hundred years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⚫The monastery lasted until the French revolution, when it was dissolved (as were all French abbeys) ⚫After that, the buildings were used for various purposes including a Town Hall, a school, a manor house and a cider press.
