A nature break at the Abbey of St Maurice
We organise flash tours throughout this festive weekend to allow you to discover this magical place. All the animations and walks on the natural or historical site will be free. Come and enjoy this setting that will delight young and old.
"The Abbey and the forest of Saint Maurice is 800 years of history for 123 hectares of natural and historic spaces. The site is the property of the Coastal Conservatory. Behind the hundred-year-old trees overlooking the Laïta, there are the remains of the Cistercian monks who settled there in the Middle Ages. Since then, we have managed to preserve and restore the sites and monuments of the various owners of the site. Come and admire the chapter room (13th century), the façade of the church (17th century), the orangery (18th century) and our many remarkable trees.
The Forest dominates the places, it is rich by its gentle and beautiful management thanks to its old settlement. The abundant life allows us to contemplate its diversity. Some rarities mingle with the ordinary but we preserve the place for its abundance."
