The only complete 18th century Cistercian abbey in France. Originally built in the 12th century, it was totally rebuilt in the 17th century after a number of historical events contributed to its prosperity. The reconstruction work resulted in a gem of Baroque art, due in part to the work of the Austrian sculptor, Pfaffenhoffen. After touring the abbey, be sure to take a walk in its formal French gardens! This outstanding site combines monastic simplicity with the world of rococo: the organ case, hanging angels, high altar, drawing rooms with rocaille woodwork will all surprise you.

Entre amis

Take a tour of Valloires abbey with a first-rate guide who can tell you all about its history, from its beginnings as a Cistercian abbey to changes made by Baron von Pfaffen Hoffen. Pleasant walks in this leafy setting. Afterwards head for Fort-Mahon and enjoy dinner on a restaurant terrace at sunset.

En amoureux

Fancy a romantic outing far from the crowds ? Then head for Argoules, halfway between the Baie de Somme and the Baie d'Authie. It's a magical place with its abbey, founded in the 12th century and restored in typical 18th century Baroque style by Baron Pfaffenhofen (Von Pfaff to his friends J). Don't miss the lovely Valloires gardens and restaurant "La Table du Jardiniers".
