Collège Royal et Militaire de Thiron-Gardais
In the old classrooms you can discover a rare collection of objects and documents retracing the almost 1000 year-old history of the Abbaye de Tiron, the establishment of the college and the creation of twelve French Royal and military colleges.

We remember that in 2014 ceremonies were organised under the Presidency of Prince Jean de France, Duc de Vendôme to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the Abbey.
