On the banks of the Nantes-Brest Canal, the Cistercian Abbey of Bon-Repos stands majestically, overlooking the surrounding area and the nearby Quénécan forest. To visit this historic site, take the Rostrenen - Mur de Bretagne cycle route of La Vélodyssée.
Founded in the 12th century, Bon-Repos Abbey flourished before slowly falling into ruin.
Run by a dynamic team, the Abbey is a haven for young and old alike:
- ry the touchscreen tablets reconstructing the Abbey in the 18th century,
- try the immersive video,
- or come and enjoy the contemporary art exhibitions.
The abbey's doors are open from April 1st to October 31st and in late December-early January for the Christmas at Bon-Repos event.
Every summer, at nightfall, Bon Repos Abbey becomes the setting for a few evenings of a reenactment retracing the history of Central Brittany, with a sound and light show featuring 400 performers. Not to be missed!
