A superb Cistercian abbey of Gothic architecture, founded by Saint Louis in 1228, a cultural center in Asnières-sur-Oise.
The Restaurant de l'Abbaye de Royaumont promises an experience to match its sublime setting. For over four years, the chef has been offering refined, inventive cuisine, using fresh, seasonal produce, much of it from the abbey's kitchen garden and French producers. The vaulted room in the north gallery offers a setting of rare beauty in which to enjoy an exceptional meal. In short, L'Abbaye de Royaumont is a unique venue for an unforgettable gastronomic escapade. Remember to reserve your table in advance.

Members' reviews on ROYAL ABBEY
The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
Immerso nel cuore del parco naturale regionale Oise – Pays de France, la visita dell'Abbazia di Royaumont unisce il piacere di stare all'aria aperta alla scoperta del patrimonio storico e culturale della Francia.
My guess, however, is that those reviews are maybe for the hotel rather than for the abbey as a visitor attraction.
The entrance is very expensive for what you get. Only a handful of rooms are open, and the only one that will last in the memory is the monks dining room. The rest are just empty spaces with no real character or interest.
The proposed route begins with a cave filled with old light bulbs, with no explanation why this might be of interest. Then you go past various kitchen gardens, which are mostly abandoned to weeds.
On reaching the building you ever the cloister (no access to the garden) and the few open rooms are all accessed from there. You could do the whole thing in 10 minutes.
Le café restaurant est très sympa, agréable, bien situé. La librairie à l'entrée très bien fournie.
Un gros bémol sur la visité guidée.. La conférencière à fait le job mais sans plus.
