The Abbaye de La Sauve-Majeure is a breathtaking site steeped in history and serenity. Surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills, its majestic Romanesque ruins rise proudly against the sky. Walking among the columns and carved capitals, you can almost feel the centuries of monastic life that once filled this place. The view from the tower is spectacular, offering a glimpse of the peaceful countryside. It’s a perfect destination for history lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking quiet beauty in Bordeaux’s hinterland. Timeless, spiritual, and...

Je suis venue visiter la magnifique abbaye de la Sauve Majeure ce matin (août 25) et ai trouvé le site superbe et bien documenté. J’ai cependant rencontré un problème à l’entrée, dont je vous fais part. Je suis munie d’une carte de reconnaissance de handicap européenne, émise en Belgique et intitulée « EU disability card ». A l’entrée de l’abbaye, il est mentionné un tarif réduit avec justificatif: 0 euro pour handicap (textuellement sur le panneau à l’entrée). La dame de l’accueil, face à la carte, m’a refusé le tarif annoncé, et a remis en question la validité de ma carte. Elle est certes restée polie, mais a mentionné trop d’abus et la nécessité d’avoir une carte française pour bénéficier de cet « avantage ».

Je tiens donc à vous signaler ma grande déception quant à cet accueil. Proposer un tarif réduit sans être prêts à l’appliquer, commencer la visite par une telle rebuffade, c’est dommage. Ceci sans remettre en question le patrimoine magnifique et la visite, superbe. Seulement, les touristes ne sont pas que français et une telle proposition doit pouvoir être universelle, ou ne pas exister. Merci pour...

Impressive ruined abbey of great historical significance, great for a day trip from Bordeaux and a 1 1/2-2 hour visit. Very kind staff who give you a detailed guide of the important stonework to see during the visit. Beautiful view across the valleys from the top of the tower. Only 8 euros for the tour plus a wine tasting in the nearby entre-deux-mers...
