Monastic Magnificence
St Michael's Abbey的点评
点评：We loved Farnborough Abbey. On arrival we were marshalled into a parking bay by a real life Benedictine monk who would be leading our tour.
Whilst their doctrine encourages them to stay largely within the confines of the abbey I was delighted to see that the Brothers have a couple of EV charging points (pics refer). I assume their Teslas and Polestars are shifted out back whilst the tours are in progress.
About twenty of us joined the tour. Our guide was a charming monk and, whilst relatively new to the job, was a brilliant orator. He gave a fascinating tour of the beautiful grounds, abbey and crypt as well as giving us an insight into monastic life with a lovely blend of humility and humour.
One of the Abbey’s claims to fame is that the monastery was founded by Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III and they, along with their son, have their tombs in the crypt.
It’s a stunning place. The monks are self sufficient so the donations made during the tour and little shop help them make ends meet.
Well worth a visit for the tours. No need to book. Just turn up a little before 3 on Saturday!!

翻译：我们很喜欢法恩伯勒修道院。抵达后，一位本笃会修士将我们带到了一个停车位，他将带领我们参观。
虽然他们的教义鼓励他们大部分时间呆在修道院的范围内，但我很高兴看到修士们有几个电动汽车充电点（参见图片）。我猜他们的特斯拉和北极星在参观期间被转移到后面了。
我们大约有二十个人参加了这次旅行。我们的导游是一位迷人的僧侣，虽然刚上任不久，但却是一位出色的演说家。他带领我们参观了美丽的庭院、修道院和墓穴，并让我们深入了解了修道院的生活，谦逊和幽默的结合令人陶醉。
修道院声名鹊起的原因之一是，修道院是由拿破仑三世的妻子欧仁妮皇后创建的，他们和他们的儿子的坟墓都在墓穴里。
这是一个令人惊叹的地方。僧侣们自给自足，所以游览期间的捐款和小商店帮助他们维持生计。
游览非常值得一游。无需预订。只需在周六 3 点前到达即可！！
