One of my best thing i saw in France! A huge place with history behind! I found the abbaye really a great place. You may found everything here: graves of the royal familly, beautiful park, immense church and abbayan buildings. It was really worth its 8 euro!! Really don't miss that place, it's magical.

If you like history, this is a must do. Henry II and Eleanor are interred here. The grounds and church take you back in time. The plus is the location in a very small but beautiful town.

The audio guide proved invaluable. It is a beautiful place but don't expect furnishings or decorations, it is bare. That said his does allow you to focus on the architecture and it was still very atmospheric. The prison exhibit was especially informative.

If you are a history buff you will soak this up burial place of Richard the Lion Heart and Eleanor of Aquitaine and Henry II but even if you are not it is a great experience to wonder around the Abbey.

We enjoyed what we could see and expect it will be really great when they finish. The kitchen, which we really looked forward to seeing, was closed. The audio tour was very helpful and came with a map. I especially liked that the printed guide called out the "don't miss" sights which was helpful since our time was limited. Seeing the tombs was a huge highlight.

I visited the Abbey with a group of 25 students. We had arranged a guided tour which was conducted in simple French. Our tour guide was really good about using simple language and explaining difficult points to us. The abbey was really interesting, but I would recommend getting a guide as I don't think I would have understood or appreciated it nearly as much without our guide.

Really interesting, steeped in English history. Burial place of Eleanor, Henry 2 and Richard the Lionheart. Amazing to think it was used as a prison from the Revolution until the 1960s. Some renovation work is going on but still well worth a visit. One of the more interesting places in an at times overrated Loire area.

totally disagree with the last review and I have to chortle at how some people perceive nice surprises! I don't want to ruin it for future visitors but the installation display is stunning!A wonderful Abbey with delightful serenity and simply stunning artwork, stonework and features and the village in which it is situated is charming, with the obligatory great Patisserie and cafes.....Do not miss!

We were very impressed with the structures of the Abbey complex, but the current owners have taken a beautiful Abbey, steeped in secular and religious history, and turned it into an operation driven by making a Euro rather than tastefully exhibiting this grand place. It is very noisy inside some of the interior sections due to snack bars having been installed in what should have been sections kept for viewing. The upper floor of one section has been turned into an Art Deco display of dozens of bright red tubes of light hanging from a ceiling over a floor with what appear to be small flat bottomed boats. They have damaged the serene atmosphere of a lovely cloister garden by allowing some artist(s) to install sculptures made of brightly painted pipes bent to look like animals in amongst the hedges in the cloister garden. We cannot recommend this site to anyone looking for a tour of a beautiful Abbey.

Really not very disabled friendly. Even the approaches are iffy for those unsteady on their feet. I cannot imagine what it must be like in the wet! The abbey consists of a vast open space with the four royal tombs. The walk around the other buildings making up the former prison is interesting enough with some info on prisoners (especially Jean Genet) and the harsh regime. A garden to sit in. Keep your tickets as you can get reduced admission to other sites on a list - from 1€ to 1.50€ - once you have paid full price at one.
