Discover the secrets of the Prémontrés Abbey during a “Guided Tour of the Library”! This journey will transport you back to the heart of the 17th and 18th centuries through ancient books and restored masterpieces. A one-hour journey through literature, history, and the sciences, featuring children’s books published by L’Imagerie de Pont-à-Mousson that you can explore on site.
Nestled on the first floor of the Prémontrés Abbey, the Grandpierre Library houses shelves of incredible treasures. Paying homage to the former library destroyed in 1944, it holds a priceless collection, including authentic works from the Mussipontain publishing tradition dating back to the 1600s.
This guided tour will offer a chance to return to the roots and shed light on a part of Pont-à-Mousson’s history. Rare collections belonging to prominent figures of the era will be on display exclusively during this special event. For enthusiasts, insights into ancient writing and engraving techniques, as well as book restoration methods, will also be shared.
Beyond the words and illustrations, this historical journey also offers unparalleled architectural explorations. Let yourself be swept away by the setting on which architect Nicolas Pierson left his mark. Stroll through the garden and admire the monastic beauty of the Abbey. For moments of artistic immersion, the tour also includes free access to the current exhibitions in the building.
