ABADÍA PREMONSTRATENSE
Cómo llegar y contactar
Esta abadía, con sus magníficos jardines, es un lugar único catalogado como Monumento Histórico desde 1919.
La Abadía de los Premostratenses es un lugar único en Lorena, y el más bello ejemplo de arquitectura monástica de la región. Promovido en 1608 por la comunidad premostratense de Sainte-Marie-aux-Bois, fue construido un siglo después. En 1964, la abadía se transformó en un centro cultural y está gestionada por una asociación cuya vocación es salvaguardar su patrimonio, difundir su historia y promover eventos culturales. En este entorno de piedra y verde, clasificado como monumento histórico desde 1919, hay que detenerse en la iglesia abacial de Sainte-Marie-Majeure y en sus magníficos jardines. En el interior, no hay que perderse las escaleras (redondas, ovaladas y cuadradas). Incluso puede alojarse en una de las 71*** habitaciones de la abadía (2 de ellas accesibles para personas con movilidad reducida), con vistas a los jardines o al río Mosela, que garantizan una estancia totalmente relajante. La abadía está compuesta por tres jardines que ocupan 2,5 hectáreas. Creado en 2009, el jardín del claustro o jardín de los aromas ofrece a los visitantes un fragante ramillete de plantas y flores durante los meses de verano. La tranquilidad del lugar, su paleta de colores y su variada fauna lo convierten en un lugar muy popular. Desde marzo de 2018, un jardín formal ocupa su lugar a los pies de la gran fachada del patio principal. Siguiendo el esquema de un jardín regular, los parterres están salpicados de topiarios y decorados con adornos como obeliscos, jarrones Anduze y bancos. A pocos pasos se encuentra el jardín del Mosela, que discurre a lo largo del río. Este jardín bucólico es ideal para relajarse y ofrece un paréntesis de calma y una hermosa vista del monumento y de la ciudad de Pont-à-Mousson. Este auténtico lugar cargado de historia se presta perfectamente a las recepciones (seminarios y eventos privados) y organiza exposiciones temporales, talleres infantiles y exposiciones de aperitivos abiertas a todo el mundo durante todo el año. La Abadía de Prémontrés dispone de 6 salas de recepción históricas de diferentes tamaños que se pueden organizar según sus deseos, para acoger diversos eventos como comidas/cenas familiares o con amigos, bautizos, comuniones, cumpleaños. El plus: los cócteles pueden celebrarse incluso en los suntuosos jardines, que ofrecen una impresionante vista del Mosela. En el recinto encontrará una rica y variada programación cultural que incluye exposiciones, conciertos, teatro, conferencias... Una visita ineludible en Lorena, a sólo 20 minutos de Nancy y Metz.

Las calificaciones y reseñas a continuación reflejan las opiniones subjetivas de los miembros y no la opinión de The Little Witty.
There is a slight touch of medieval, with the monks living in the big house, and the caravans of the travellers installed outside, at a good distance.
The people are nice, nothing to argue about it. But the rest is weird. The rooms are not that big. And not that cheap. In a coleague's room the handle of the toilet door was broken and I was left with the handle in my hand. And all levers that open the windows make a terrible noise because nobody cares to grease them and maintain the place.
The room was a bit cold. And the fancy thermostat was ready to change temperatures at will and with zero effect. Later I have noticed there was a triangle with an exclamation mark on the display, probably wanting to tell me there is no point in playing with it.
The fast less fancy thermostat in the shower room was not even powering up. The water was warm, thank you.
The toilet was also strange. Both in my case and in the case of my friend, the toilet had only two rolls of paper. There is a 24h reception desk so I guess one could call for toilet paper, yet in the case of my friend's room the phone was dead, so one would have to dress up to get the toilet paper.
Even more interesting, in both toilets the toilet paper was used up. I guess the hotel has a contract with the sole toilet paper factory that delivers partly used toilet paper rolls, or else I simply can't explain why in two toilets there was not a single new, unused roll.
Also, be careful, as the place is quite large and it can mean a lot of walking, which if you have luggage can be unpleasant. The platform next to the elevator was very degraded. It looked older than the place. And very dirty. So I think you should take your luggage with you. Also, it seems that the strange and rather dirty elevator only goes from the double zero floor (funny numbering) through the zero floor, to the first floor. To reach the second floor one needs to take the large spiral staircase. I was lucky to travel light.
In the room there is a small electric kettle to heat up the water. And some cheap tea / coffee, everything counted, just radiating petty and cheap. There is no safe in the room. There is no minibar in the room. Or anything to keep something cold. There is barely enough storage space for a person during an overnight stay, when the room is sold with two beds.
The hotel parking is 10e/night, even if the printed paper in the room specifies it is 8e/night. I guess the paper is from another era as well. There is some parking right in front of the only entrance, but each evening it was full, so I had to seek out a parking spot in the nearby streets, and I felt so bad for taking the parking spots of those houses.
So despite the nice people, the experience was bad. Not very bad. Just plain bad. And the whole experience left a bitter taste of exploitation. All those people who went hungry so the monks would have a big, impressive home to crush the spirit of those who visited their church. Than the place was bombed. Than more people had to give up their wealth so this ugly, souless place be built again, and left to degrade.
If it wasn't for the depressing story of cold and poverty, I would have given two stars.
