Abbey Fontaney

It turns out this Cistercian Abbey from the 12^th century is a UNESCO national monument. All we know is that we have a lot of fun running around taking pictures. We took hundreds of pictures here, and when I next have a decent Wifi connection, I will try and sort them onto Flickr. We all loved the working waterwheel, the fountain full of rainbow trout and the gravel floored church. It is still lived and worked by the monks (who had a brief absence between the French Revolution and 1906) and whilst some areas are out of bounds, most of it is opened up to show what a crap life a monk in the 12^th century would have had.
