Three different experiences in one location. A superb abbey that has been lovingly restored to its original state. An art gallery with an fantastic and eclectic variety of paintings and sculptures from the likes of Dali, Rodin and Brossard. And finally a beautiful potager garden with a variety of herbs and vegetables. A lovely place to visit.

A very relaxing and interesting place to go and spend a few hours learning some new history and looking around the Abbey and Gardens. There is art on display too which is nice to view in a relaxed environment. No coffee shop but there is shaded parking under the trees if you can so nice for a picnic. It is 15 kilometers from Condom and also the same from Montréal if you want a nice Café au lait!

This was an amazing surprise. Not only is the setting beautiful, but there are art pieces on display that you would more expect to see in the Louvre or some other high-profile art museum; but, without any crowd. This is a very worthwhile visit.

Very pretty abbey with a large church but it's a shame to have put paintings, which are really not appropriate in such a place.

A beautiful Abbey with the most unexpected and fantastic art collection. The abbatial church has the most fantastic acoustics and the gardens are lovely. A great day out for all the family!
