Abbaye de Fontenay (Burgundy Canal) - I Love Walking In France

Founded in 1118 by Saint Bernard, Abbaye de Fontenay is the oldest and most beautifully preserved Cistercian abbeys in Europe. Occupying over 1200 hectares of land in a wooded valley, it enjoyed a peaceful existence for most of its first 700 years—interrupted only by English looting in 1359 during the 100 Years War. #walkingholidayinfrance
