Cadouin

Cadouin Abbey was founded in 1115 and affiliated to the Cistercian order.

The buildings represent two different architectural styles, Romanesque in the church and Flamboyant Gothic in the cloisters which were rebuilt at the end of the XVth century.
Cadouin Abbey is one of the world heritage sites on the pilgrim route to St. Jacques de Compostelle.

 

 

 

You can spend the night there, in the hostel located inside the abbey, in a former monk cell.

 

To be honest, the restaurant of the abbey if a lot more sinful than the cell :-)))
