Explore the abbey for yourself
Information panels provide details about the monument and its remarkable gardens. Stereoscopic glasses allow you to view the lost abbey church in 3D.
The seven stereoscopic viewers allow you to immerse yourself in the interior of Royaumont Abbey Church, which disappeared in 1792 and was virtually restored between 2010 and 2014 by engineering students from the École Centrale de Paris. Each viewer offers a different perspective of the building. Walking from one to the next provides the most varied view possible of the interior of the lost monument.

Guided tours are available for an additional €4.50.

Adventure booklets for children
Two game-tours have been devised for the 4 to 12 year-olds so that children can have fun discovering the abbey’s history as their attention is drawn to specific architectural details or decorative elements or furnishings. The older children can do the tours on their own, while the younger ones are accompanied by an adult.
