Discover through these medieval gardens the history of the Order of Tiron, which exerted its influence throughout the north of France and as far as Scotland from the construction of the abbey in 1114.

Only the abbey church still remains today, accompanied by thematic gardens of medieval inspiration.

On a surface of 4 hectares, 10 themed gardens are proposed for the visit.

Saint Martin Church

Highlight • Other

The Saint-Martin church of La Croix-du-Perche, composed of a single nave without aisles, dates from the 12th century. At this date, the church is the chapel of a priory founded around 1250 by the Abbey of the Holy Trinity of Tiron. The church only became a parish when the monks left, towards the end of the 16th century.

The monument is remarkable for its 16th century framework, entirely decorated with paintings dated 1537.

The building was classified as a historic monument in 1934.
