Abbaye de Maubuisson is an ancient Cistercian abbey where the nuns lived cloistered lives, cut off from the rest of society and its hustle and bustle. Is it really? Appearances can be deceptive...
The women of the high nobility, sheltered within the walls of this royal abbey, were not immune to the torments of the times they lived through. The wars and scandals of the court left their mark on this seemingly unspoiled place... Saturday's guided tour places Maubuisson at the heart of history.
