Small, very practical parking lot, but then the very site of the ruins seems completely abandoned. The remains are overgrown by vegetation and the meadow is not maintained. Most of the paths have disappeared... I came there a few years ago: day and night! Apart from the map at the car park, no information panel on the site.

The site is very interesting, first of all, it is interesting to visit this place which is located in a valley, we pass through fields and then suddenly the area becomes wooded and much more hilly. It is a green setting which, by definition, is pleasant for those who want to find themselves in the heart of Nature. Regarding the monument aspect, there are two chapels to see, one upon your arrival and the other in the hamlet which today belongs to an individual. The second is very old, from the 12th - 13th century. There is an old cemetery with inscriptions still visible on the tombstones (19th century tombs). A door erected for the consecration of the abbey church is also visible, it dates from the 18th century. Finally, there are also ruins of the old abbey which can be seen from the two enclosure paths on either side of the site (there is an explanatory panel at the entrance next to the car park). The site is worth it if you pass by, the visit lasts an hour. It's free of course. PS: I didn't come there for the hikes but there are, and this won't surprise me, wonderful hiking trails, there would also be a pond.

There is little left to see of the Abbey itself, apart from scattered ruins here and there on private land. Nevertheless, the place is worth a look and is an excellent starting point for wonderful hikes. The oak of the Moines is not far (take the path that climbs along the abbey), and other courses to the south are really nice and soothing in this majestic forest. The small church and its cemetery with old tombs are very beautiful.
