Before, this place was so unsanitary that the villagers called it the valley of the devils. Monks of the Carthusian order settled and transformed this place so much that they renamed it the "ValDieu". That was before. Now, when modern man transforms his environment, it is to pollute it. I can't wait for the wisdom of the monks to be rediscovered! 🙏🏻😇

Called La Trappe, this abbey from 1122 was the cradle of a reform of the Cistercian order in 1664, creating the Trappist order.

Spiritual home of Trappist monks, this abbey and monastery have had a tumultuous history. You will appreciate the most beautiful doors at the entrance of the monastery when you run past.

The construction of the monastery on this site began in 1170. Of course, like many other religious buildings, it was demolished during the revolution, unfortunately after being rebuilt shortly before. Of the building built after the revolution, only the pharmacy, the gatehouse and the chapel remain. Unfortunately it is now privately owned, but the lake and house, in a beautiful setting, are a must see.
