Chartreuse de Bonpas, Medieval winery and monastery in Caumont-sur-Durance, France.
The Chartreuse de Bonpas stands at the foot of a hill, featuring fortified walls, French gardens, a chapel, and an extensive wine cellar.
Originally established in the 12th century on a Roman oppidum site, Pope John XXII transferred the property to Carthusian monks in 1318.
The monastery complex demonstrates the evolution of religious architecture and winemaking traditions from 1000 CE through the 17th century.
Visitors can explore the grounds through guided tours, participate in wine tastings, and learn about the site through multilingual audiovisual presentations.
The location changed its name from 'malus passus' to 'bonus passus' after monks improved the dangerous Durance River crossing point.
