#royaumont

Established as a Cistercian abbey in the 13th century, the Royaumont Abbey is situated in the township of Asnières-sur-Oise in France. The cloister of the building, with its arched formations and carved pillars, is one of great architectural importance. The building houses the graves of many members of the Royal French family or descendants of Louis IX. Today, the abbey is a popular tourist attraction and guided tours of its premises are available.

arcade prolongée par une ligne tendue de bleu, abbaye de l'infini ; l’absence immense comblée par le vaste espace de l’été ; son ciel parfait de pierre recomposé par le vrai, en son sommet ouvert ; accorder au ciel la reconstruction de l'ensemble, lui en laisser le soin, le libre plaisir ; ruine alors qui s'achève peu à peu sous le regard, la nef du ciel
