Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Bèze (classified I.S.M.H.)
Founded in 630, the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Pierre de Bèze is one of the oldest in Burgundy: it was in fact the fourth of the Merovingian abbeys in the diocese of Langres (after Moutiers-Saint-Jean, Saint-Bénigne and Saint-Seine).
Its surviving buildings, which date mainly from the 18th century - with the exception of the remains of a 12th century chapel - are witnesses to a history that spans more than a thousand years, from the beginning of the 7th century until the French Revolution, when it was sold as national property.
Free visit of the Abbey, the Park and the Flower Garden (including 200 varieties of old roses), with a printed guide provided.
