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.

Une vieille abbaye cistercienne en ruine, le bâtiment des moines convers est toujours debout et on devine quelques salles destinées à accueillir des hôtes de marque. C'est une rare abbaye construite sur la carrière de pierres qui a servi à la bâtir. Il y a plus de deux hectares de galeries en dessous.
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.
