Description

Founded in the 12th century, the Abbey has left its mark on the Abondance valley. Home to the monks, the conventual buildings still bear witness to the Abbey's power in the Middle Ages.
Transported back to medieval Savoy by the 15th-century murals in the cloister, you'll be seduced by the peacefulness of the setting.
The exhibition “De l'histoire à l'art : patrimoines sacrés en vallée d'Abondance” (“From history to art: sacred heritage in the Abondance valley”) invites you to explore the sacred art collection of exceptional objects in part of the former monastery, before ending your visit in the former orchard, which offers a breathtaking view of the monument's architecture.

Finally, enter the abbey church to admire the 19th-century trompe-l'oeil decorations and rich furnishings. Independent access to the church, according to parish opening hours.
