Description

Orval Abbey is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1132 in the Gaume region of Belgium and is located in Villers-devant-Orval, part of Florenville in the province of Luxembourg. The abbey is well-known for its history and spiritual life but also for its local production of a Trappist beer and a specific cheese. Not sure I understand why I got less comments on my previous upload... but anyway, thanks to those who took the time to write something... or even adding my picture to their favs :

Orval outre sa bière au demeurant excellente a une abbaye où l'on irait bien se ressourcer... malheureusement le tourisme lui a fait perdre son caractère méditatif. Bravo pour ce voyage dans notre beau pays. PS : j'ai ta doc pour Madère.......
