Great place to think about life and understand God's plan. The nature is incredible here and it's a great place to live. The teachings given by the monks are very enriching. I highly recommend this place to all those who need some peace and quiet, alone or with their family, away from the noise and pollution of the big cities. The location is lovely but we can't be the first to feel frustrated that they're closed over lunchtime. There is a very large parking lot near at the top of the drive, but if it's the low season it's worth driving further and parking right next to the church or right next to the (only 2 places) as it's a good 15 minute walk from the parking to the abbey. The direct walking path from the to the that shows on Google maps is closed to the public so you have to walk around on the road. The and church and are completely closed over lunch but the view is gorgeous. There is a single very poorly maintained toilet next to the that remains open during the lunch hours though it's lock function is faulty. Praying with devoted monks seven times a day is what anybody could hope for! If you searching for silence and true meaning of religion, you should go and listen to the psalms sang by the monks and watch how they live... Breath taking respect and devotion for the superior worlds... A great at the end of a never ending mountain road. We did not the monastery. Just the small church. It is small and simple but the fact the the is still active makes the whole place very special and mysterious. You can take the path on the left when facing the facade. It leads to an amazing view East, over the Durance. The is also good. God is in simplicity. This truly is a house of God. Beautiful place. I stayed at the abbey for 4 nights. A very memorable event that I suggest everyone try. Guests stay at the abbey, but apart from the monks. Meals are good and basic, and rooms are comfortable and simple. Silence is practiced throughout the including mealtimes. The gift near the opens at 2 pm. During lunchtime, the church is closed and locked until 2. Therefore make sure to prior to that time. Make sure to the ruins of the old village at the north end of the plateau. It’s a short walk and well worth it. The serpentine road that leads up to the old priory is really beautiful once you arrive at the parking spot you have several options to explore the priory and the surrounding sights there’s a beautiful path going through old olive and holly oak trees that leads to the gift and souvenir that’s where you can buy tickets for the priory and locally harvested honey and much more. The abbey is just a few minute walk away from the shop. If you take the path on the left side of the abbey you will see the Ganaboie Cross the view over the durance valley is amazing! You have to it you will love it! It’s a overall good place for a half day trip even for people who are atheists (like me ) or who aren’t Christian it’s not just for religious people. If you are into history and beautiful landscapes this place is definitely worth a 😊 Current Abbey open to the public. Magnificent and peaceful place. Check opening hours.
