Founded in 1115 by Saint Bernard, the Abbey of Fontenay was established in the hollow of a forest area, in a small valley crossed by the stream of Fontenay. Essential to the life of the monks, it flows from its source at the foot of the village of Touillon to the abbey through a succession of small basins and ponds, still present in the landscape.
