"We bought some 4 fruits jam which was made here, from another Abbaye closer to Paris. The jam is 65% fruit. It is absolutely superb. A pity we can easily buy jam like this in the UK. Well worth the price paid in my opinion."

"Beautiful abbey, not really much to do tho. Cute little shop with lots of spiritual books, postcards,and local products. The abbey is located in a beautiful spot in nature and quite easily accessible, with a parking lot nearby. We arrived by bike, which was also quite doable. There is a public toilet and a chapel, which we didn't get to visit."
