new places that are revealed...

It is said that no one comes to Saint-Antoine by chance. History and legends will guide your steps from the abbey church, so imposing and protective, to the Treasure of the Antonins, hidden in a place away from the vagaries of History... or almost, passing through the village to medieval architecture. The cob or molasse houses, the narrow streets, the cobbled streets and the comments of the guide-lecturer will take you back in time when the abbey was prosperous and famous.
