On the north side of la Montagne Noire ("Black Mountain") and in the centre of the triangle formed by the cities of Toulouse, Albi and Carcassonne, Pépin of Aquitaine built an abbey. Thirteen centuries of history have occurred since, and over time the buildings have suffered many instances of looting and destruction.
It became a school in 1682 under the impetus of Benedictine monks. Today, this monument welcomes history and culture lovers. Former students return every year to revive the memory of this school which closed its doors in 1991.

The hotel has 52 3-star rooms, preserved in the style of the Fathers’ former rooms and 20 2-star rooms located in the former girls' dormitory.
Hotel guests can take advantage of the 6-hectare park and the “wellness area” consisting of a heated, indoor swimming pool, sauna, and fitness room and which is located in the former stables. Guests also enjoy free private parking near the hotel, as well as a free visit to the museum section of l'Abbaye École.
