Tips from the Community
At the tip of the fortified spur of Crépy-en-Valois, the former Saint-Arnoul priory (founded in the 10th century, which became a Benedictine abbey and then an important Cluniac priory in 1076) suffered heavy damage during the Hundred Years' War, particularly during the sack of 1434. Of the church, the necropolis of the Counts of Valois, the western wall of the crypt and that of the north aisle remain, revealing a remarkable Romanesque vocabulary (acanthus leaf capitals, Carolingian traditions). Enhanced since 1964, the complex still retains the 12th-century stoker's room, the superb chapter house and the eastern gallery of the cloister.

The Abbey of Notre-Dame and Saint-Jean-Baptiste of Saint-Jean-aux-Bois is located in the heart of the Compiègne forest, in the village of Saint-Jean-aux-Bois, in the Oise. It was founded in 1152 as an abbey of Benedictine nuns by Queen Adelaide of Savoy (widow of Louis VI). In 1220, the abbey was given a new Gothic-style church. The abbey church was transformed into a parish church in the 18th century. https://www.compiegne-pierrefonds.fr/sit/abbaye-forteresse-de-saint-jean-aux-bois/#:~:text=%C3%80%20propos,%C3%A9glise%20de%20style%20gothique https://www.eglisesdeloise.com/monument/saint-jean-aux-bois-abbaye-notre-dame-et-saint-jean-baptiste/

Beautiful little village nestled in the heart of the forest. The inn at La Bonne Idée is a great place to eat and stay; I have never been disappointed, I recommend it.
