This Carthusian monastery was intended to accommodate a community of monks respecting an iron discipline

The Chartreuse Saint-Sauveur was built from 1452, a little away from the city, on the other side on the south bank of the Aveyron. Built according to the last wishes of Vézian Valette, a rich merchant of the city, it was intended to accommodate a community of monks respecting an iron discipline: isolation, contemplative life and absolute silence! You can visit the large cloister of the Charterhouse, one of the largest in France, which also has a small cloister richly carved in the flamboyant Gothic style.

Chartreuse avec un cloitre étonnant par sa grandeur. On dirait que les cellules au nombre de 13 seulement, sont immenses
Endroit paisible

La Chartreuse est l'un des trois principaux monuments à visiter à Villefranche de Rouergue, avec la Collégiale et la chapelle des Pénitents Noirs. L'entrée est libre hors haute saison touristique. Le grand cloître est d'une taille impressionnante. Des maisons des moines, il reste seulement les portes d'entrée et les "passe-plats". On peut également voir le petit cloître (à travers une grille).
