    Une abbaye médiévale récemment et remarquablement restaurée accueillant une très belle collection d'art moderne et contemporain. Une roseraie. Loin des sentiers battus mais le détour en vaut la peine.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice renovation of this former abbey. Too bad the parking spoils the view when you arrive. Mrs. Bonnefoy the former owner who screamed every time someone stood there must be turning in her grave. (Original) Très belle rénovation de cette ancienne abbaye. Dommage que le parking gâche la vue en arrivant. Mme Bonnefoy l'ancienne propriétaire qui hurlait chaque fois que quelqu'un se mettait là doit se retourner dans sa tombe.

    (Translated by Google) The amazing place! The incredible collection, the second after the Center Pompidou for its collection. On the other hand, a HUGE RED CARD on PMR accessibility. When you see such a renovation and you clearly haven't thought about wheelchair access, it's a SHAME. A single vestibule with a virtual tour in front of a screen... I hope they will quickly remedy this. (Original) Le lieu incroyable ! La collection incroyable, la seconde après le Centre Pompidou de part sa collection. Par contre un ÉNORME CARTON ROUGE sur l'accessibilité PMR. Quand on voit une telle rénovation et qu'on a clairement pas pensé aux accès en fauteuil c'est une HONTE. Un seul vestibule avec une visite virtuelle devant un écran... J'espère que rapidement ils vont remédier à cela.

    Très belle collection d'art contemporain dans un lieu magnifique ! L'accueil est chaleureux, où l'on nous apprend que le fond est 3 fois plus important que les œuvres exposées. Vivement la suite ^^

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful abbey, contemporary art center in a beautiful valley. A night of museums last night with musicians, singers, organ, piano and light show under the vaults ... A success 😍 (Original) Très belle abbaye, centre d'art contemporain ds une superbe vallée.

    Wonderful renovated abbey, we enjoyed every minute of the visit. The art collection was a real surprise - large, nicely presented and high quality, with e.g. works of Simon Hantaï

    (Translated by Google) A magnificently restored abbey, rediscovered on the occasion of the concert of the Passions of Montauban. A must see, especially for its collection of contemporary art! (Original) Une abbaye magnifiquement restaurée, redécouverte à l'occasion du concert des Passions de Montauban. A voir absolument, notamment pour sa collection d'art contemporain !

    Magical place, beautiful church and garden. It's also a modern art museum. There are free guided tours three times a day with an emphasis on the paintings. The entrance costs 6 euros.

    Très beau lieu avec visite commentée, très belle restauration de cette abbaye et de ses jardins une roseraie de près de 600 roses, un vivier avec 2 signes, une très belle visite que je vous recommande 🤗

  • 4/5 Marie Claude H. 1 year ago on Google
    Belle surprise!! Jolie abbaye cistercienne, église gothique dans un site naturel préservé. l'abbaye est bien restaurée grâce à un couple qui léguera sa collection d'œuvres d'art contemporain qui y est maintenant exposée.

  • 4/5 Annie D. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth a visit for sure...lots of renovation work has been done...The "English subtitles" film didn't actually exist...

  • 5/5 Emma R. 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden gem. Spend a few hours in the company of artistic genius. The collection of post war contemporary art is stunning and a revelation. Wonderfully restored Cistercian abbey is the perfect backdrop.

    (Translated by Google) Reopening after a sumptuous renovation An unparalleled atmosphere houses a museum of modern art The festivities organized on the occasion of this reopening are really worth the detour: illuminations, mini conferences, musical shows, etc… we were lucky enough to be there on July 14: it was a delight for young and old. (Original) Réouverture après une somptueuse rénovation Une ambiance sans égal abrite un parcours museal d art moderne Les festivités organisées à l’occasion de cette réouverture valent vraiment le détour : illuminations, mini conférences, spectacles musicaux, etc… nous avons eu la chance de nous y trouver le 14 juillet : ce fut un enchantement pour grands et petits

    (Translated by Google) A visit is a must in this magical place. Beautiful exhibition of paintings. A beautiful park where you can eat or quench your thirst! (Original) Une visite s'impose dans ce lieu magique. Belle exposition de tableaux. Un beau parc où l'on peut se restaurer ou se désaltérer !

    Magnificent, inspiring, intriguing, unforgettable, un-missable. This is a very special place and is highly recommended for the whole family. Well preserved and restored ancient abbey buildings. Intricate planning, river re-routing, and construction of the gardens, pond, fish pool, and water flows. Insightful glimpse into a thousand years of local history. Beautiful gardens with lawn, seats, ancient trees, water features, beautiful scenery. Fascinating ancient stonework which illustrates the wealth, organisation, and artistic appreciation of the Cistercian monks. There are several art installations which I found superfluous, dated, and out of context - arguably it emphasizes the contrast to the current era. I could have spent hours here, but in the French way, it closes for lunch at noon :-( I will return with all my guests from now on. Ample parking, moderately accessible, €6 standard admission. As an added bonus, walk around the outer periphery from the overflow carpark, including the forest walk behind the walled garden.

    (Translated by Google) Under restoration, located in the middle of a meadow surrounded by forest. Imposing building. (Original) En cours de restauration, situé au milieu d'une prairie entourée de forêt. Édifice imposant.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful set quite stripped despite everything. We quickly go around. The gardens should be accessible in June. (Original) Bel ensemble assez dépouillé malgré tout. On fait vite le tour. Les jardins devraient être accessibles en juin.
