    Beautiful peaceful surroundings and the Abbaye is splendid. A fascinating scale model of the Abbaye and it's surroundings of how it must have looked is something to go look at. Beautiful stained glass windows too.

    went for an evening visit with very low expectations. It was simply magic! brought my 3 year old who loved It too. Caves under the monastry were cool and make sure to visit the place close to the river

    Predominately ruins, but some interesting sections remaining, including the storage rooms asking the river. A few displays also with a look.
