SAINT-BENOIT D'EN CALCAT ABBEY
Abbey with hotel and a bookshop publishing remarkable religious works in Dourgne.
The monastery of Saint-Benoît d'En Calcat was founded in 1890, at the same time as the Sainte-Scholastique de Dourgne, by Louis Banquet - a native of the hamlet of En Calcat - and Marie Cronier, who received divine revelation of a work to which the Lord was calling them both: "a spiritual ark which will be His own dwelling place, where souls will live from Him, where He will be the Beloved". The two monasteries were recognized as an abbey in 1896, and the community continued to grow. The abbey is not open to the public, but visitors are welcome in the guesthouses. The Siloë bookshop, based at the abbey, publishes many outstanding religious works.

Un Havre de Paix , des Offices et des Prêches chantés en Français et en Latin où l'on peut assister à certains d'entre eux ; un écrin de verdure ressourçant, reposant, invitant à la Prière Méditative et Eucharistique.
Un librairie propose de nombreux ouvrages, posters, puzzles.... tirés des Tapisseries de Dom Robert.
Hôtellerie agréable et confortable.
Ce fût un entretien téléphonique qui mit de la lumière sur cette Croix que mes infirmités peinent tant à porter.
Le Temps est affaire de Dieu Tout Puissant, alors pour une halte, pour un jour , un séjour, Vous ,Pèlerins du Chemin de Saint Jacques de Compostelle, venez vous nourrir de provendes spirituelles dans ce Lieu Religieux accueillant.
