The 12th-century Abbey, a historic monument, is home to the Institut Mémoires de l'édition contemporaine (IMEC). The association preserves the archives of major publishing houses and magazines, as well as the manuscripts of great writers, philosophers and artists. A centre for research and literary creation, the IMEC also offers free cultural programming throughout the year (conferences, exhibitions, events, tours).
Our tips : "Entering this Abbey and its library is entering History. A timeless atmosphere, a literary universe that carries you away. A visit to remember. Breathtaking!" - Anne
