Agenda

Make the most of this yearly celebration of local history to visit Aulps Abbey, free. And this year, thanks to augmented reality, you can also explore the abbey as it was before its destruction. Don’t forget to visit the original temporary exhibition “Plantes magiques”.

The sixth monastic market at Aulps abbey offers a selection of products from around 50 abbeys in France and around the world. This is a perfect opportunity before the festive season, to take inspiration from all the fine things that are made in monasteries!

Viewed variously as cure-alls, Machievellian and the stuff of witches, the plants that feature in this exhibition are not the medicinal varieties used by the monks to make people better; instead, this is an exploration of a very different kind, inspired by Elodie Balandras’s illustrated book of spells.
