Explore Saint Louis Abbey and its 6.5-hectare park at your own pace.<\/p>

Signs along the way explain the monument’s historical and archaeological dimensions, as well as its remarkable gardens. Stereoscopic viewers allow you to visualize the former abbey church in 3D.<\/p>

The 7 stereoscopic viewers allow visitors to immerse themselves in the interior of the 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 view of the building. As you move from one to the next, you’ll get as varied a view as possible of the interior of the vanished monument.
(Design and production: Xavier Schiettecatte, for the visuals, Trivision3d, for the design and manufacture of the viewers)<\/p>

Tours for younger visitors<\/h2>

Two game-tours<\/strong> 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.<\/p>

Where is the crown ? [ages 4 to 7] (in French)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n

Now where has King Louis’ crown gone? Paul and Léa are there to help you find it! As they question the playful animals they encounter in room after room, children discover where the crown has gone, and who filched it…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Investigation in Saint Louis Abbey [ages 8 to 12] (in French only)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n

Let’s help young Louis IX find out which monk poisoned the abbot! Children rise to this challenge, using their individual illustrated booklets and questioning the various monks they meet virtually in the course of their tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The Royaumont arboretum [April to October, for the whole family].<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n

Let’s go through the park, to meet the trees that populate it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
