Just a stone’s throw away from the abbey lies the Royal & Military College, which is open to visitors. Since 2013, this unique place has become the residence of Stéphane Bern, a famous French journalist and TV host dedicated to restoring buildings to their former glory! Explore the museum, take a stroll in the stunning gardens and sample a delicious La Beauceronne lemonade in this haven of peace.
