The Benedictine monastery at Saint-Thierry, welcoming retreatants and groups wishing to share in the community's prayer
Saint Thierry, a disciple of Saint Rémi, founded the abbey in the5th century. From 1121 to 1135, St. Bernard's friend Guillaume de Saint-Thierry, famous for his writings, was abbot. In 1777, the community was expelled and the abbey razed to the ground. Monastic life resumed in 1968 with the arrival of the Benedictine nuns of Vanves, a community founded by Marguerite Waddington-Delmas. Today, the monastery welcomes retreatants and groups wishing to share in the prayer of their community.

Le cadre paisible, les journées rythmées par de magnifiques offices, permettent de vivre dans une petite parenthèse intemporelle et de se ressourcer.
J'ai été touchée par l'âme du lieu, propice au recueillement, et l'hospitalité des soeurs. Merci pour l'apaisement de ces quelques jours, la joie de partager les repas avec la communauté, et la fête du 15 août dont je garderai un excellent souvenir !
