Fontevrault, a place steeped in history and beauty. From the Tomb of Richard Coeur de Lion to the Chapelle funeraire et lanterne des morts, this enchanting abbey holds secrets waiting to be discovered. As I flip through the engravings of Picturesque Rambles in Provincial France, I am transported back in time. The NUN stands tall amidst the grandeur Abbey. A symbol of devotion and strength, she embodies the spirit that permeates these hallowed grounds, and is here that King Henry II found his final resting place, forever entwined with this sacred sanctuary. Walking through The Cloisters, I am captivated by their serene atmosphere. Each stone tells a story as ancient as time itself. And then there are The Royal Tombs - majestic and regal, they command reverence from all who behold them. As I gaze upon the Romanesque Tower at Fontevrault, its architectural marvel leaves me awestruck. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship throughout centuries gone by. But it's not just grand structures that make Fontevrault special; it's also the simple yet charming aspects like The Kitchen/Smokehouse where culinary delights once filled the air with tantalizing aromas. In every corner Abbey lies an opportunity for discovery – whether it be exploring hidden nooks or basking in its tranquil gardens. This place whispers tales from long ago while inviting visitors to create new memories within its walls. Fontevrault is more than just an abbey; it's a journey into history and spirituality intertwined with natural beauty.
