Visit of the abbey enclosure and the remains of the abbey (foundations of the abbey square with its cloister, abbey house, refectory and chapter room). The history of the site is traced: its Cistercian abbey and its military occupation by a dozen squadrons of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force during the First World War. According to the weather, a small exhibition and several works related to Beaupré, including a very recent book about the history of the aerodromes of the Presqu'île de Beaupré, will be proposed to the public.
