Vegetable gardens, orchards, fishponds and pigeon houses have a great use for the autarky of the monastery. But how do they evolve when industrialists, workers, then tourists replace the monks? How do their plantations reflect the society of their time, the transmission of knowledge, uses or simply fashion?

Gondelbert, in 640, does not imagine that his monastery will be until the French Revolution a powerful Benedictine abbey in Lorraine, coveted by kings, counts and bishops. You can still walk in the large courtyards, the cloister, the gardens and admire the staircase of honor, the abbey palace and the immense library of this beautiful architectural ensemble of the eighteenth century.
