(Last Update: 01.06.2025) There are many beautiful monasteries worth seeing in France, especially Le Mont Saint Michel, but if you are doing the Loire Valley Castles Tour and you have come to Saumur Castle, you can easily reach Abbaye de Fontevraud from here - You should also definitely see Fontevraud Monastery. You may think that it is not worth traveling just to see this monastery (which I think is worth it).
