Designed by the landscape gardener Gilles Clément, the new gardens structure the space by favoring a new perspective of the abbey from the entrance at the south of the monument; they create a link between the disorder of the bocage countryside and the sternness of the Cistercian buildings.
As soon as you arrive on site, the enclosure of the Judean trees, the alleys of grasses, the basin and the room of changing roses invite contemplation and underline the purity of the architectural lines of the monument.
In the cloister, around the flowery well, the sky is reflected in form of clouds of simple and aromatic. Further on, the oriental gardens in light white tones lead up to the magnificent avenue of bicentennial lime trees.
