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.

Construit aux portes de la ville à partir de 1452 grâce au legs testamentaire d'un riche marchand drapier de Villefranche, Vézian Valette, le monastère de la Chartreuse St Sauveur permet de comprendre comment vivaient les moines au sein d'une chartreuse et d'admirer ce précieux patrimoine .
Très bon accueil , nous avons passé deux heures pour la visite du grand cloître , le petit cloître et la chapelle entre autre , un moment très apaisant que nous avons particulièrement apprécier.
