Abbaye de Fontenay

The Abbey of Fontenay was founded by Saint Bernard in 1118. It is one of the oldest Cistercian abbeys in Europe. The Romanesque architecture offers a remarkable unity to all buildings remained intact since the Middle Ages. The Abbey was transformed into a paper mill after the French Revolution by the family Montgolfier and was bought back in 1906 by Edouard Aynard, the ancestor of the present owners who continue on safeguarding this masterpiece of Romanesque art. The old Abbey of Fontenay (12th century) was one of the first monuments to be inscribed on the Unesco world heritage list. This classification has distinguished the exceptional value of Fontenay and its environment. Free Parking and gift shop. Until 1/11/2020, Fontenay Abbey is open every day from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Regular guided tours will take place only on weekends in French.

This was one of the highlights of my trip in Burgundy. The guided tour was very insightful, the site is very well kept and everyone is willing to help and provide any additional information. It is definitely a place to return!

Parc de l'Auxois

Reviewed By RJoker - Geneva, Switzerland

Quite a big zoo with a specificity of several contact areas where visitors are walking among the animals (lemurs, parrots, wallabies, domestic animals) and can feed some of them. There are regular animations during animal feeding as well as a possibility to touch/hold a python. There is a playground with quite a non-standard installations as well as a simple restaurant. Wonderful place to spend a day, especially for kids!
