Free mp3 audio tours at Vauclair abbey
Investigate the murder of a monk at Vauclair abbey
"An enjoyable and educational tour"
When secrets of the long-buried past return to haunt us ….
“The Cistercian monastic order was very powerful. Over three centuries its monks built up one of the greatest networks throughout Europe. Nearly one thousand years later, their order is back”. Every year thousands of tourists come to admire the ruins of what was the 15th daughter-house of Clairvaux. But these old stones have guarded many a secret …
Lila is a young journalist investigating a rather strange event, the unsolved murder of a monk in 1503. Disturbing clues, worrying noises and a mystical voice are all part of her quest for the truth. Will she succeed in solving the mysteries of Vauclair abbey?
The narration is based on historical and scientific fact while giving free rein to the young heroine’s imagination.
Puzzling, exciting, a blend of truth and fiction, this audio-guided tour is part of a new stylistic approach. Visitors can experience something vivid and realistic, full of emotion and suspense – an excellent way of spicing up the tour and increasing its appeal.
And what makes the whole thing revolutionary in tourism terms is that there is nothing to pay! It can be downloaded just like an mp3 file onto your computer. Once you have transferred the data to your mobile phone or mp3 player you are ready for an incredible journey back in time … to explore the world of Cistercian monks.
