In all seasons, a stroll is essential in this park, classified as a sensitive natural space.
Its 30 hectares of orchards, wet meadows and wooded areas are a true haven of peace. It must be said that it stood until the XNUMXth centuryrd century, one of the most influential Benedictine abbeys in Europe. Largely destroyed during the Revolution, there are almost no buildings left to attest to this. All that remains is the incredible work that the monks did at the time, to divert the course of thehelp, create ponds and fishponds, gardens and enclosed spaces.
You have the opportunity to stay on the prepared paths, sometimes stopping to observe the birds in specially designed sheds, with a view of the reed bed. Here it is the paradise of the kingfisher, the coot and the gray heron.
By venturing onto more grassy paths, towards the pyre, you may have the chance to see the cave of Louis de Blois. It is said that this abbot, childhood friend of Charles Quint and great reformer, took pleasure in settling down in this place, to do like you, to do nothing, to think and meditate.
