In less than 25 years, this abbey was to become the religious capital of the western world. Bernard of Clairvaux became one of the most inuential people in the history of Christianity. CLAIRVAUXAbbaye de ClairvauxAu XII sicle, Bernard de Fontaine choisit le Val dAbsinthe pour y fonder une abbaye, dont il allait reprendre le nom : Clairvaux. Aprs un premier dice en bois en 1115, il fait construire ds 1135, les btiments en pierre qui se doivent dtre le modle type de labbaye cistercienne, cest Clairvaux II. Au XVIII sicle, Clairvaux est devenu lun des plus puissants tablissements de lAncien Rgime. Les moines dirent une nouvelle abbaye de got classique : Clairvaux III. Le clbre abb t de Clairvaux la capitale du monde occidental arbitrant entre les rois et les seigneurs, fabriquant les vques et les papes.Au XIX sicle, Napolon chasse les moines et transforme labbaye en prison.

In the 18th century the old building was demolished and replaced with Clairvaux III, of which the original main yard and the small and large cloisters still remain today. During Napolons reign the Abbey was turned into a national prison, which is still operational.J16MUSSY SUR SEINESaint Pierre-s-Liens Ancienne Collgiale des Evques de LangresXIII et XVI sicles.

These are one metre rolls, made from lime wood overlaid with pins which play the melody when the cylinder is turned.This represents one of the best collections of cylinders in France, in as much as the 20 rolls are original. You can thus listen to the same music that Mousseys worship-pers listened to in the 19th century. Restored between 1972 and 1974, the organ still sounds thanks to Mr Poinsot, an enthusiastic organist who will give you a warm welcome when you visit the church. (The term to sound is used of an organ).PRASLINSaint ParresTransept du XVI sicle. Nef du XVIII sicle. Trs beau retable sculpt, priv de ses statues.
