So Where's the Abbey?

Next on the day's itinerary was to take a look at Fontrevaud-L'Abbaye. Not exactly a big attraction according to the green Michelin guide or my online research, but with so many brown historic roadside signs pointing the way, we set course for our next adventure. Somehow we ended-up on another ultra-narrow one lane farm road that provided some scary but interesting views of life off the beaten track in France. Eventually we came to the abbey where a decent sized village surrounded the complex. But the big abbey parking lot gave us no indication of where to walk to find the actual lobby. A good ten minute hike through an apartment complex and some narrow alleys eventually got us there.
