The abbey of Cernay is a private domain where we find mainly a hotel and a restaurant. It is the ideal place if you want to impress your friend, it is also a very romantic place with the ruins of the old chapel. The place is very popular for weddings, Jamel Debbouze got married in Cernay. The domain is open to outside visitors, you have to come by road with your car because the place is very protected and a huge wall surrounds the whole abbey. Once inside, you have to pretend to feel at ease because there are not many indications and you don't know what is open to the public.
