The monastery today

Situated 75 kilometres south of Paris, the monastery, which is home to around twenty nuns, is set in moorland, sand and rock, in a large pine and birch forest.

This natural setting favours a life of solitude for the nuns, and also makes it possible to welcome seekers of God who wish to experience silence and the desert, to the liturgical rhythm of the community.

Handicrafts are part of the nuns’ life. Through sacred art, they try to pass on to their brothers and sisters in humanity a reflection of the Beauty that is God.

Being close to Paris, the nuns have at heart to carry the world by their lives offered to God in watchfulness and prayer in the name of all and for all.
