Founded in 1135 by St. Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux, the old Cistercian abbey in Auberive on the banks of the River Aube, is now a cultural and contemporary art centre. Sights to see include the 18th-century convent buildings, the Cistercian chancel in the abbey church, with its bays adorned with contemporary stained glass windows, seasonal exhibitions on expressionism and marginal art, the 6.5 hectare park with fragrant rose bushes, medieval-inspired garden and orchards with old apple and pear trees...
In the area around the abbey, the romantic shady walk of Entre deux Eaux is a pleasant way to round off your visit.
