It's the 900th birthday of this beautiful abbey that is being restored by its owners(propriétaires).
Every year in June there is a festival with classical music in the chapter room (salle capitulaire) and jazz in the meadow (le pré).
I love the jazz in the meadow evening; there is a first concert at 6.30pm, then everyone picnics on the grass, then another concert at 9.30. For the first one it is still sunny, but the during the second one it becomes darker (plus noir) and ends with spotlights (projecteurs) and candles (bougies).
It's a really magical evening.
