One of the oldest and most completely intact Cistercian abbeys in Europe, Abbaye de Fontenay was built in 1118 with a mixture of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Although slightly rundown, the original complex comprising the church, dormitory, cloister, chapter house, caldarium, dovecote, and forge all retain their original architecture, except the refectory.

Worth a look if in the area, it's just over an hour from Beaune, beautifully kept and very interesting. Spent just over an hour there, entry is 11 euros. Refreshments on site by way of vending machines and there are toilets. Lovely gift shop at the exit.
