The Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, an emblematic place in the Loire Valley, is transformed into a real fairy tale during the Christmas period. The ancient stones and historic walls of the abbey become the enchanting setting for an exceptional musical celebration, awakening the festive spirit and the magic of Christmas.
Fontevraud-l'Abbaye has long been a meeting place for music lovers. The abbey has a long history linked to music and artistic creativity. This tradition continues brightly during the Christmas period, offering visitors a unique experience.
During the Christmas season, the Royal Abbey is transformed into a stage for various musical shows. Children's choirs from the most beautiful masters and prestigious ensembles come to perform Christmas works and traditional songs. The exceptional acoustics of the abbey add an extra dimension to the magic of the music.
Visitors have the opportunity to attend concerts in an enchanting atmosphere, with sparkling illuminations and a warm atmosphere. Additionally, intimate recitals in the abbey's historic chapels and rooms offer a unique and immersive experience.
In addition to music, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud also offers an artistic journey highlighting the talent of creators with multiple techniques. These installations invite us to explore various forms of artistic expression – book object, exhibition, installation, etc. – and to renew our view of this extraordinary heritage place. The common thread throughout the journey is none other than the spirit of Christmas, adding to the magic of the abbey.
Once night falls, the abbey takes on a new face. During this visit, let yourself be transported on a nocturnal, heritage and artistic journey, luminous and poetic.
