A large portion was destroyed during the French Revolution.Neglected since world war II, it was fully restored in 1977. The original structre from the eighteenth century is the old cistercian guest quarters.

A large monumental staircase leads to the Prior's home. The " large monks room " has just been rebuilt and can accomodate up to 300 people for conferences or receptions.

Cuisine of exceptional standard on level with the surroundings. Bedrooms and apartments with the genuine decoration of the wonderful framing half-timbering. The drawing-rooms have the splendor of the Great Century with their ceilings in the french style and fireplaces in stone. You will feel far from the monastic austerity of the cistercians but quite near "a little place of the paradise"" at the end of the road.
