What could be better for heritage than to rely on the enthusiasm of all generations?
Come and meet the co-author of the «Tour du monde de la Haute-Marne» who, in times of pandemic, went to meet artisans, know-how and regional heritage, and then share it through his book.
Discover the unusual history of the abbey of Septfontaines through the story of its owner.
And finally, come and taste delicious local beers in the presence of the brewer, because that’s also what heritage is all about: getting together to talk about it and to be together, simply because in doing so, it comes to life.

À propos du lieu

Abbaye royale Saint-Nicolas de Septfontaines

Route de l'abbaye, 52700 Andelot-Blancheville

Haute-Marne
Grand Est

This former ecclesiastical estate of the Premonstratensian order preserves most of its conventual buildings rebuilt in the 18th century. The courtyard of honour, whose regular arrangement is underlined by a fine border of boxwood, is decorated in its center with a fountain nineteenth century whose waters gushing blithely splash the basin. The sobriety of the facades is softened by bouquets of old roses. At the back and side of the main wing, a piece of water with its island and its small romantic bridge flows through a rock cascade into the stream that crosses the property. In the secret corners of the old park, once again a vast meadow, hide some fountains, statues and musky rocks.
