L’Abbaye Royale de l’Épau constitue l’un des plus beaux exemples de l’architecture cistercienne en France. En 1229, Bérengère de Navarre, veuve de Richard Cœur de Lion, décide de fonder cette abbaye aux portes du Mans, où elle sera enterrée un an plus tard. À la Révolution, l’abbaye, presque désertée par les moines depuis le XVIIIème siècle, est vendue comme bien national à un industriel. Transformée alors en exploitation agricole, l'abbaye a connu de nombreuses vicissitudes avant son rachat par le Département de la Sarthe en 1958. Un vaste programme de restauration, toujours en cours, lui donne un second souffle faisant de l'abbaye un des hauts lieux culturels de la Sarthe. L’abbaye accueille également les séances de l’assemblée départementale dont elle est le siège depuis les années 70. Dernièrement, les recherches du Père Michel Niaussat, moine cistercien écrivain, mettent en lumière le caractère royal de l’édifice. L’abbaye de l’Epau devient Abbaye Royale de l’Epau en mars 2017.

An interesting attraction just outside Le Mans but very easy to get to by public transport. It was very quiet on the day I visited and was I given a tablet guide in English which was very helpful. There is a small cafe serving very good cakes and sandwiches. The abbey contains the tomb of Queen Berengaria, the wife of Richard The Lionheart. They also had a display in the grounds of photographs of families from around the world which I also found very interesting.

Was traveling by car and would not stop, me and my company talked about what we saw and thought it really was an unethical city. Then swung in a cross and a magnificent cathedral stood before us it was incredible as from any fairy tale with its pinnacles and special architecture. We parked to check out the cathedral itself and were going to walk around it to see it from all directions. In the back compared to where we parked our car, a fantastic part of Le Mans was revealed, the really old part of the city architecture was from the Middle Ages and a century ago, we stayed much longer than we would but then we had 300 kilometers to our destination we were obliged to leave but would have liked to stay at least one night to see everything worth seeing. Very good!
