Originally, our Monastery was founded in Armentières (Department of North, in France) en 1899. But the 1901 laws about religious congregations compelled the community to go into exile in Maffles, Belgium. In 1920 we moved to Wargnies-le-Petit (North), then to St Restitut (Drôme) in 1980 where we are now. The building is a former provençal country house which main body dates from 1778, as engraved on the older stones. We have built a chapel and a new wing with a large library. Our life retains the main lines of monastic life : Our hospitality at Redemptoristines Monastery at Saint-Restitut : the monastic Guest house. We wish that our welcome and the sharing of our prayer life will do good to our guests, men and women, who come to recover physical or spiritual strengths. Our village : St Restitut is a medieval village, overlooking the Rhône valley. It is located on a small mountain range in the “Provençal Drôme” area, mainly sunny, sometimes windy, and always humming with cicada singing.
