Abbaye Notre-Dame du Vivier awaits you

The Abbaye Notre-Dame du Vivier was founded in the early 12th Century, consecrated in 1103 and affiliated with the Cistercian Order in 1236. 


Discover this hidden medieval gem in Gelbressee and enjoy a guided tour through the site lasting from 90 minutes to 2.5 hours. As well as the architectural beauty of the Abbaye itself, the gardens are a place of tranquil and serenity to also be enjoyed.

If you want to make a weekend of it, there are three charming self-catering guesthouses on site, offering the chance to experience monastic peace overnight.

For family-friendly adventures, wind your way around the forest trail walks, participate in some themed activities or have a magical dining experience in the tree-tops (suitable for age 6+)!
