Nice interesting place suitable for all ages. Ample parking and information office on site. Could be more engaging for children. But lovely restaurant and boat rental adds up to 5 stars From a distance, the surviving fragment of the nave looks like a fortification, but turns out to be a powerful ruin, with outlines of the various versions of the old east ends. Guest house remains almost complete. Some useful audio-visual displays, very helpful to the visitor. Beautiful grounds, including a cloister garden. Awesome site with ruins of a cathedral as big as Paris Notre Dame. The visit does not take long and the history behind is quite interesting Absolutely phenomenal visit. The remains just say enough about the enormous size this must have had in its peak years. We visited the Abbey at Maillezais on a quiet Tuesday morning and enjoyed wandering around the grounds and learning about the history. Such an interesting place. Top tip - take one of the guided tours ( in French) and the history of the abbey is brought to life. The views from the top of the tower are amazing - take your time walking up the stone staircase! Once you have finished your visit - make sure that you have a look around the gift shop - lots of interesting gifts and many are locally made using local ingredients - including local crafts people who have earned the ‘Values of the Marais Poitevin Parc’ label - I recommend the handmade soaps! A must visit place. Impressive! Wonderful place to visit. Very well organised and the downloadable tour in English was very interesting. Not expensive (7euros a head) and we were there for at least 1.5 hrs.
