Adult groups - The Abbey from top to bottom - Tour of the monastery's roof structure

Abondance

Pôle Culturel d'Abondance

Description

Explore Abondance Abbey from top to bottom! Join one of our cultural mediators for an overview of the Abbey's history, and marvel at its trompe-l'œil church and cloister with 15th-century murals.
Then, equipped with a helmet, climb the 44 steps leading up to the monastery's roof timbers. Examine the skeleton of this majestic monument to see how it has evolved over time. Take advantage of this privileged moment to appreciate the various restoration and consolidation operations. Feel, touch... and retrace almost 300 years of work on this unique tour!

Round off your visit with a tour of the exhibition “From history to art: sacred heritage in the Abondance Valley”, which contains treasures from our collection, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Abbey's former orchard (weather permitting).
