BOUTIQUE MONASTIQUE DES BÉNÉDICTINES

The monastery of Notre-Dame de Bouzy-la-Forêt, a stone's throw from the better-known Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, is occupied by Benedictine nuns. They continue the tradition of producing "Eau d'Émeraude", a recipe dating back to the ^17th century. This green aquosity is said to be beneficial for the skin and digestion. An icon workshop is run by Professor Georges Dobrot. The monastic guesthouse has 12 rooms for anyone wishing to experience silence.
