Abbaye des Prémontrés

A splendid model of a monastery beside the Moselle

The Abbaye des Prémontrés, an historic monument dating from the 18th century, offers the finest example of monastic architecture in Lorraine.

Set in 2.5 hectares of grounds, the Abbey rises proudly beside the Moselle. The abbey church, the cloisters, three majestic staircases, plus the Jardin des Senteurs (or Scented Garden) make this a serene, magical place. Since 2018, the main courtyard has been redesigned as a French-style garden. Its new space can be admired from the gallery beside the water.

The Abbaye des Prémontrés has been awarded the label Accueil Vélo.

The whole ensemble of the Abbaye des Prémontrés has been listed an historic monument. Today it includes a 3-star hotel with 71 bedrooms. The place is also a cultural venue offering a warm and friendly atmosphere. The Abbey is reputed for the exhibitions, conferences, receptions, corporate seminars and themed events it hosts.

South from Metz, La Voie Bleue alternates between the Moselle and a series of lakes before reaching Jouy-aux-Arches and its Roman aqueduct. Take in the Rochers de la Fraze boulders, as well as the vine-covered slopes at Ancy-Dornot. Arnaville marks your arrival in the département (or French county) of Meurthe-et-Moselle. From Pagny-sur-Moselle, the route runs peacefully parallel to the Canal Latéral à la Moselle, up to Pont-à-Mousson. This town boasts fine architectural treasures, such as its triangular square, Place Duroc, and the magnificent Prémontrés Abbey.

Along this La Voie Bleue stage, you reach the confluence of the Moselle and Meurthe Rivers, the latter leading you to the gates of the historic ducal town of Nancy. This city is a gem at which to stop, with its three splendid 18th-century squares listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the most famous, Place Stanislas. However, there is another option – at Custines, you can embark on a route bypassing Nancy, taking you via the Boucle de la Moselle, enabling you to discover the AOC des Côtes de Toul vineyards and the little medieval town of Liverdun.
