Price: €6.50 (public price: €7.50) From the remains of the ancient church where Ronsard is buried to the gardens that 12th century canons saw as a “paradise on earth”, the former monastery has retained its historical, spiritual and poetic dimension. Today, it offers a wide range of visitor itineraries linking different eras and arts through the prism of architecture, poetry and contemporary art.  Its eclectic program, its facilities that appeal to all five senses and its interactive mediation are all invitations to learn, be surprised and relax, with family or friends.  The Saint-Cosme priory is a timeless place whose forms never cease to renew themselves.
