1. Abbaye de FontenayMontbard The Abbey of Fontenay is a former Cistercian abbey located in the commune of Marmagne, near Montbard, in the département of Côte-d'Or in France. It was founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in 1118, and built in the Romanesque style. It is one of the oldest and most complete Cistercian abbeys in Europe, and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. Of the original complex comprising church, dormitory, cloister, chapter house, caldarium, refectory, dovecote and forge, all remain intact except the refectory and are well maintained. The Abbey of Fontenay, along with other Cistercian abbeys, forms a connecting link between Romanesque and Gothic architectures. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Chateau de Montpezat | Midi Pyrenees | France | Oliver's Travels
Everything will be tailored to your needs at this impeccably designed chateau in Midi-Pyrénées. Perfect for weddings, seminars, or just an outrageously grand family holiday, this chateau and farmhouse down the lane will house 20 guests in the midst of 40 hectares of French forests. The staff here (security guard, concierge, and maid) will make your stay flawless; you’ll have pure peace of mind on your chateau holiday.
The owner, Jean Francois, began a decade-long renovation of this 1520’s castle in 1998, and the fruits of his labour are rich indeed. The opulent blend of old and new styles will please the most discerning guests - from the bathroom lounges, to the ultramodern suite beneath the eaves. Have a breathtaking reception on the terrace or the lawn (the turreted towers looking on), or a more casual fête by the private pool (you really can’t go wrong.)
The nearest groceries and restaurants are 8 km away in the riverside spa town of Salies du Salat. Toulouse is a 45 minute drive away, and is not to be missed. If you fly into the airport here, plan to also take in the arts and architecture of France's 4th largest city.
