European Heritage Days

The monastic farm at Aulps Abbey houses a permanent exhibition, which will be completely refurbished in November 2020, devoted to the daily life of monks in the Middle Ages. The three-hectare estate is also home to a garden of simple plants, a medieval kitchen garden and a conservatory orchard, an apiary and the splendid remains of the 12th-century Cistercian abbey church of Sainte-Marie-d'Aulps.

The European Heritage Days are the perfect time to rediscover the site!
Discover our treasure hunt:
‘The Abbot's Treasure": Because there's no age limit to learning, and it's even better when you're with the family, come and explore the estate in an investigative game that invites you to keep your eyes open and use your imagination and creativity. Discover the winning combination that will allow you to open the lock on the abbot's chest, and he might just give you one of his precious coins.

With the Abbaye d'Aulps 3D augmented reality application, immerse yourself in the abbey as it was before it was destroyed in 1823! Using a digital tablet, visitors are plunged into the centre of the abbey church, lulled by the singing of the monks, and discover the monastic buildings that no longer exist.
