Abbaye Notre-Dame de Bonport, Medieval Cistercian abbey in Pont-de-l'Arche, France.

Richard the Lionheart established this Cistercian monastery in 1189 after he survived a dangerous incident while crossing the Seine River.

The abbey serves as an educational center where visitors learn about medieval monastic life through preserved dormitories and dining halls.

Guided tours of Notre-Dame de Bonport operate from May to September, every first Sunday of the month between 2:00 PM and 6:30 PM.
