NOTRE-DAME DE SENANQUE ABBEY
Visit to discover a remarkable Cistercian abbey, full of history, with church and monks' dormitory in Gordes.
Sénanque Abbey was founded in 1148 by Cistercian monks. The church was consecrated thirty years later by the Bishop of Cavaillon. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the abbey enjoyed a period of economic prosperity and spiritual influence. In 1969, the monks moved to their mother house on the island of Saint-Honorat in Lérins, before returning to Sénanque in 1988. Here, they divide their time between prayer, work (growing lavender) and Benedictine hospitality.

Visite bien expliquée, mais très courte pour un prix trop élevé. L'endroit est magnifique mais impossible de s'imprégner de la quiétude des lieux car trop de monde.
Je trouve la visite (guidée obligatoire)de l'abbaye un peu chère ... mais elle est assez complète.
