Guided tours

Guided tours are offered on fixed dates and times or upon group request.

Two types of visits are offered:

The “discovery” tour Duration 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes

Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of Boscodon Abbey, founded by the religious order of Chalais, a now-rediscovered order. This site, witness to nearly nine centuries of history, embodies both the resilience and longevity of cultural and spiritual heritage.

During this tour, you'll discover a restored abbey that has spanned the centuries, blending spiritual pursuits, political and economic issues, and philosophical currents. These multiple facets of human history are deeply intertwined and give Boscodon a unique dimension, combining religious heritage and historical impact.

The “symbolic journey” visit Duration 1h30 to 2h00

During this tour, discover how the abbey's stones conceal subtle messages, testifying to a profound spirituality. The abbey's Romanesque architecture, imbued with the cultural and spiritual heritage of medieval Christianity, also reflects the exceptional craftsmanship of medieval builders.

Through the simplicity of forms, the play of proportions, the sacred numbers and the harmony of sound and visuals, this architecture responds to the ideals of the reforming monks of Chalais. It opens the way to a personal interpretation of the symbolism that permeates the abbey church, inviting each visitor to immerse themselves in the spiritual and mystical universe of the place.
