Abbecourt Abbey was founded at the end of the 12th century by Gasce V of Poissy and added to the Premonstratensian Order. Several times badly damaged during the Hundred Years' War, it was restored over the centuries, then completely rebuilt in the 18th century. Declared national property following the Revolution, it was sold and then destroyed at the beginning of the 19th century. All that remains above ground is a section of wall, about sixty meters long, which rests on the foundations of the church, the canons' building and the outbuildings.

Beautiful pond on the edge of the Saint-Germain-en-Laye national forest. The area is wilder and less frequented than the rest of the forest, so you can enjoy the peace and admire the many species of birds.
