Saint Wandrille Rancon 2023 Abbaye De Fontenelle Abbatiale Vue Contre Plongee CsntLike many abbeys, Saint-Wandrille’s destiny was marked by periods of varying prosperity. Sold as national property during the French Revolution, the monks returned to the abbey at the end of the 19th century. Let a Benedictine monk guide you through the recently restored Gothic cloister, the wood-vaulted refectory and the admirable Romanesque chapel of Saint Saturnin. This abbey is a lively place, where the rhythm of Gregorian chant is the order of the day. The current community belongs to the Solesmes congregation, and follows the rule of Saint Benedict, according to which one must “live by the work of one’s hands”. Don’t leave without a detour to the store, which sells unique monastic handicrafts such as beeswax, jams and delicious gingerbread.
The abbey has its own monastic product, Saint-Wandrille beer.
Early 2015: two brothers were trained and a beerologist taught the art of beer tasting to four brothers with a view to drawing up specifications. Over the course of more than a year, the brewing brothers developed an original recipe for a French and monastic beer. At the same time, other brothers worked on the choice of bottle, the design of the label and the economic and financial aspects of the project.
The brewery was officially inaugurated on December 1, 2016…
The beer is available in the abbey store and from selected retailers in the region.
