The Origins of Fontevraud

Archaeological Crypt

In 2016, the Royal Abbey has opened a new space to the general public: its archaeological crypt. Situated under the abbey church, the crypt is essential to our understanding of the abbey’s origins and is presented to visitors in an original fashion by the artist Ève de Roeck. Artist in residence at Fontevraud, de Roeck has created a series of entertaining and poetic animated films on the abbey.
