Abbaye de Saint-Maur, Medieval abbey in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France.

The stone remains of the abbey include the 14th-century Rabelais Tower and the Notre-Dame-des-Miracles chapel from the 12th and 14th centuries.

Founded in 639 during the Merovingian period, the abbey received Saint Maur's relics in 868 under Charles the Bald's protection.

The monastery's scriptorium produced manuscripts now preserved at the National Library of France and the Troyes Media Library.

The archaeological society of Saint-Maur organizes guided tours with specialists to explore the ruins within the municipal park.

The abbey's cellars contain an 11th-century wall, representing one of the oldest preserved structures in the Val-de-Marne region.
