Abbaye de Notre-Dame de Villeneuve-lez-Nantes, Cistercian abbey and hotel in Le Bignon, France.
The abbey complex features preserved medieval architecture with a main building that now functions as both a hotel and restaurant establishment.
Founded in 1201 by Constance of Brittany, the abbey served as a burial place for noble families until its transformation during the French Revolution.
The abbey contributed to regional development through agricultural activities, including marsh drainage and canal construction between Messan and the Loire.
Located near Nantes, the establishment maintains daily operations from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM on weekdays and until midnight on weekends.
The original monastery hostelry underwent restoration in 1977, transforming into a modern hospitality venue while preserving its religious heritage.
