SIGHTSEEING

Abbey Fontdouce:

On the territory of the commune Saint-Bris-des-Bois withdrawn a few miles from the center of the village lies the Abbey Fontdouce.

A valley at the bottom of which flows a stream of vineyards with a beautiful view and a forest as to conceal to the world Abbey Fontdouce ... We could not imagine a more beautiful place!

The abbey was founded in 1111 by monks obeying the rules of Cistercian life, then it will rapidly expand its influence in the region and expand its presence by building a second monastery, attached to the first and much larger Gothic.

Partly destroyed by the wars of religion, she enters the family of current owners shortly after the Revolution to serve as agricultural property. Restored from 1970, it presents an architectural whose party regained its original splendor and every year in early August the Festival and Concerts Tales (storytelling evenings, piano recitals and jazz concerts).

It can be visited from April to October and by appointment the rest of the year.

Painting exhibitions are held, workshops for children can also explore the site using booklets games.
