Belleperche Abbey, Cistercian monastery in Cordes-Tolosannes, France
The stone walls of Belleperche Abbey stretch along the banks of the Garonne River, containing multiple exhibition halls and a museum dedicated to table arts.
Founded in 1143, Belleperche Abbey grew to become one of the three largest Cistercian monasteries in the Midi region during the thirteenth century.
The permanent exhibition 'La Table est mise' presents the development of dining customs from medieval times through contemporary practices with extensive tableware collections.
The abbey maintains regular opening hours from Tuesday to Sunday, with admission fees of 5 euros for adults and 3 euros for reduced rates.
The museum houses Europe's largest collection of Chinese Yixing sandstone teapots, dating from the 16th century to modern times.
