Rooms
Hotel "Les Chambres de l'Abbaye
From 2023-03-25 at 2023-10-31
Converted into hotel rooms on the first floor, the former nuns' cells now offer visitors unusual nights and an intimate perception of the abbey.
To access them, you must take the magnificent stone staircase. A long vaulted corridor distributes the rooms. The ancient floors, the beauty of the vaults, set the tone for the night. There is no television here, the amenities are on the landing for the majority of the rooms. A form of asceticism to taste the essential: calm, serenity and extra soul.
33 rooms open onto the courtyard and garden sides.
