Vital, Abbot of Savigny accepted their offer, and sent a band of monks under the direction of Arnaud, who became their first abbot.

  • The abbey was founded in 1118 when Simon de Neauffle and his wife Eve donated the land for this foundation to the monks of Savigny Abbey, in order to have a monastery built in honour of the Mother of God and St. John the Baptist. Vital, Abbot of Savigny accepted their offer, and sent a band of monks under the direction of Arnaud, who became their first abbot. Besides their first benefactors, others of the nobility came to the aid of the new community. As soon as they were well established, many postulants were admitted, thus making it possible for the foundation of Breuil-Benoit Abbey (1137) within the Diocese of Evreux. In 1148 Vaux-de-Cernay, together with the entire Congregation of Savigny, they entered the Order of CĂ®teaux and became an affiliation of Clairvaux Abbey. From this time on they prospered, building a church in the simple Cistercian style. Over time, additional buildings were constructed.
