Nestled in a lush green valley on the edge of the Brocéliande forest, La Joie Notre-Dame Abbey has been home to a community of Cistercian nuns since 1953. The abbey is renowned for its biscuit and chocolate workshops. Delicious traditional galettes, moist cakes to share and other treats, as well as succulent chocolates (bars, mendiants, gift boxes) are available to taste. A reception area offers products for sale and presents a slideshow on monastic life. The shop is open every afternoon from 2:45 p.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Sunday (closed on the first Friday of each month).
Visits to the park and church are possible (outside of services).
