From 15 July to 24 August 2025, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud will be transformed to offer you an original nocturnal tour following in the footsteps, this year, of Robert d'Arbrissel, founder of the abbey.
New night-time trail at the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud
Guided by the glow of the lanterns, visitors will set off to discover this visionary man and his incredible legacy, notably through a new animated film directed by Jean-Baptiste Peltier, specifically for the star trail. This immersive journey, where light and sound blend harmoniously, will plunge you into the fascinating story of the founding of Fontevraud and its spiritual influence in the Middle Ages.
Using light effects in the abbey, projections on the facades and sound effects, this poetic experience will take you on a unique journey that will amaze spectators and leave them suspended under the stars. An experience not to be missed during A Summer at Fontevraud.
Every evening at the end of the tour, a winegrower will present and offer a glass of Saumur as part of the
ticket to the stars. In partnership with the Syndicat des Vins de Saumur.
Access to the stars of Fontevraud is included in the booking for guests of Fontevraud L’Ermitage.
