Cistercian Abbey of Fontenay - UNESCO World Heritage Site

Fontenay is one of the oldest Cistercian abbeys in Europe, and was founded by Saint Bernard in the 12th century. It has been preserved remarkably intact, with many buildings such as the church, cloister, dormitory, and several others all intact and looking great. It's so well preserved, in fact, that it's been used as a filming location for many French TV and movie productions! Let's have a closer look.
