Abbaye de Royaumont

Listed as a historic monument in 1927, this former Cistercian abbey – the largest in Ile-de-France! – is a dazzling proof of the genius of the builders of the Middle Ages. Its slender columns, polished stones and isolated tower tell 8 centuries of history. Some spaces, reserved for the activities of the Foundation, are not accessible as part of the visit. However, it is possible to access it on certain occasions: shows, exhibitions, conferences, professional training for artists, during a weekend at the abbey, a meal at the Table, private guided tours and group activities.
