"Mystery at the Abbey - The Christmas bells have disappeared": immersive visits to the heart of the Abbey
The Département de la Vendée is repeating the immersive Mystères à Nieul event, which was a great success last year during the Christmas holidays.
During this immersive visit, you'll be invited to step through the doors of the abbey to investigate and find the Christmas bells.
