A jewel of New Aquitaine's heritage, Sorde Abbey is listed as a historic monument and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France.

Two thousand years
of history

Nestled in the Kiwi Valley, this unusual abbey forms a heritage site that reads like a long historical frieze: floor mosaics and decorations from an ancient villa stand alongside the monumental ruins of Benedictine architecture overlooking the Gave d'Oloron river.
Enter Sorde Abbey and enjoy a fascinating visit!
