Description

The outline of the majestic ruins of St-Pierre de Maillezais Abbey stand out in the heart of the Marais poitevin. Since the dawn of the 11C, the abbey has had both a troubled history and served as a residence for the famous, including Rabelais, the author monk between 1525 and 1530. Don't miss the superb 3D-film shown in the refectory, which brings the abbey's elegant ruins back to life. Historic pageants and concerts in season.
