Abbaye de Villeneuve -
Western Loire

Route de la Roche Sur Yon,
Les Sorinieres 44840

The Abbaye de Villeneuve was founded by Constance de Bretagne and was of great significance throughout the fifteenth century. A large portion of the Abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution.
Neglected since world war II, it was fully restored in 1977. The original structure from the eighteenth century is the old cistercian guest quarters.

A structurally sound original section of the cloister serves as the restaurant which offers exceptional cuisine equal to its magnificent surroundings.  A large monumental staircase leads to the Prior's home. The "large monks room" has just been rebuilt and can accommodate up to 300 people for conferences and receptions.
