A famous legend rose up around the<br />
fountain in the abbey grounds; that after<br />
the infertile King Louis IX and his wife<br />
Marguerite of Provence were invited<br />
by St Thibault to drink the water at this<br />
miraculous fountain, they went on to<br />
have eleven children.<br />
The Abbaye des Vaux de Cernay is<br />
now run as a luxury hotel and function<br />
centre, although you can visit the ruins<br />
and the fountain and walk around the<br />
lake at your leisure (it’s free during the<br />
week).<br />
On Sundays there are guided tours of the<br />
grounds. If you’re looking for some fine<br />
French dining, take your seat amongst<br />
the vaulted arches in the restored priory<br />
which is now La Table du Prieur.<br />
Or indulge yourself on a Sunday, prior<br />
to your guided tour, with an extravagant<br />
Buffet déjeuner brunch in the former<br />
cloister building.
