Cistercian abbey classified as a historical monument, with a wine cellar, in Saint-Paterne, hosting various events.
Classified as a historical monument, the Cistercian abbey of La Clarté-Dieu was founded in the middle of the 13th century by the bishop of Winchester, Pierre des Roches. The abbots followed one another until the Revolution when the 5 remaining monks were expelled. The abbey was sold, and its church and the monks' building were dismantled. It was a buyout that saved it from total demolition. Rebuilt in 2002, it underwent a decade of work and then opened to the public and to many activities, from the wine cellar to music festivals and privatizations for events.

Nous y étions fin mai 2023 pour un mariage. Une vieille amie qui habitait non loin et nous hébergeait à cette occasion, me disait qu'elle y allait parfois, petite, avec son grand père et que le site était alors recouvert de ronces et de lierre. Impossible alors d'imaginer la majesté du lieux.
