Nieul-sur-l'Autise Abbey, when technology reveals the stone
At the heart of a Petite Cité de Caractère, Nieul-sur-l'Autise Abbey is an architectural jewel, showcased and managed by the Département de la Vendée. The abbey is one of the few monastic complexes in the Poitevin region to have survived almost intact, with the only Romanesque cloister in the West preserved in its entirety.

When technology reveals the stone…
Founded in 1068, Saint-Vincent Abbey enjoyed the protection of the Dukes of Aquitaine and was granted royal abbey status in 1141 by Eleanor of Aquitaine, then Queen of France. At the heart of this jewel of Romanesque architecture, touch screens and 3D reconstructions reveal the secrets of a rich history.

In summer: historical shows, fun tours and family visits.
All year round: events and activities for children.
