The abbey is open to visitors from June 1 to August 10 & September 1 to 15, Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00 to 18:00. You will have access to some of the buildings, but especially to the three successive gardens: a flower garden, a vegetable garden and finally a meditation garden on the south side of the monks’ refectory in an isolated enclosure. There are many rosebushes and fruit trees that take advantage of this southern exposure. Since 2021, a simple garden has also been planted. These gardens are part of the Union des Parcs et Jardins de Normandie.
In addition to the gardens, the 13th and 14th century buildings give very faithful insight into the functioning of a medieval Norman abbey. The Abbey also offers visitors three flat tombs of former lords of Argouges and the largest collection of cobblestones in Le Molay-Littry, dating from the 14th century, whose colors and patterns take us back to medieval art and colors.
