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.

Calme et sérénité

Un accueil extra d'une grande sympathie. Nous avons fait la visite avec la formule pour enfant. Vous partez à la recherche du moine qui a dérobé une relique. Parcours super ludique qui justement pousse l'adulte a regarder avec une grande attention. Bien sur vous pouvez également écouter le parcours audio guide en même temps. Cet endroit est un bijou. Les cloitres superbes, la chapelle, la salle a manger... A faire et à refaire dans un calme remarquable et appréciable.
Merci
