sunflower Posted 7 January , 2005 Share Posted 7 January , 2005 I am trying to find out where the 13th century Abbaye du Royaumont is in France. It was the first Scottish Women's Hospital, 200 beds, established by Dr Elsie Maud Inglis under the auspices of the Red Cross. Villers Coterets was another hospital and I just cant find where they are in France exactly. Would appreciate any help and info. thanks, sunflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted 7 January , 2005 Share Posted 7 January , 2005 Hi Sunflower, http://www.heritagesites.eu.com/france/royamon.htm L'abbaye de Royaumont est située à 35 km du nord de Paris et à 12 km de Chantilly. Villers Cotteret is 14 miles south-east of Soissons near the Aisne. Aye Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Michelle Young Posted 8 January , 2005 Admin Share Posted 8 January , 2005 I visited the Abbaye in 2003, it is a truly magical place, serene and beautiful. It doesn't take too much imagination to see again the wards and rooms put to their wartime use. I also managed to get to speak to the archivist and view the Abbayes collection of Great War material.

sunflower Posted 4 February , 2005 Author Share Posted 4 February , 2005 It certainly looks worthy of a trip and I will make sure I do visit next time I am in France. May well be fortunate to have a look at the Great War Collection, it must have been very interesting. Thanks again sunflower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
