Hotel Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud
This unusual hotel is set on 11th-century foundations within the perimeter of the Abbaye Royale in one-time monks' quarters. It became a hotel in 1990. The guest rooms are well maintained and monastically simple, though with colorful drapery, modern furniture, and exposed sections of cream-colored tuffeau, the easy-to-carve rock used to build the abbey during the early Middle Ages.
