A Cistercian Abbey Near Paris, France

This place was founded by Queen Blanche of Castille in the early 13th c. When religion was outlawed during the first French Revolution, it was a military hospital. In the early 20th century, it was an orphanage, I think, and now, it is a registered historical monument and art activities take place here.
It is in Saint-Ouen L'Aumône and you can get here from Paris by train, bus or automobile. There are many Cistercian abbeys in the Ile-de-France (greater Paris) region.
This place is called Abbeye de Maubuisson. There is a main building and a huge barn structure. You might not consider it a barn if you saw it, but that is what grange means.
As a private guide, I can suggest many places right outside Paris you can easily visit on your own. When you get outside the city, you get a greater appreciation for the beauty of this part of the world, and it's quite peaceful.
