Tours for younger visitors
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.
