Chartreuse du Reposoir, Historical monastery in Le Reposoir, France
The Chartreuse du Reposoir stands at 1000 meters altitude facing the Aravis mountain range, featuring Gothic vaults and a large cloister.
Founded in 1151 by Jean d'Espagne, the monastery housed Carthusian monks for seven centuries until their expulsion during the French Revolution in 1901.
The resident Carmelite sisters maintain traditions through daily liturgy, silent prayer, and meditation while creating handmade products in their workshop.
Visitors can access the church and outer cloister daily from 8 AM to 12 PM and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with a shop selling crafts made by nuns.
The monastery functioned as a hotel in 1907 before Mother Mary of Jesus di Rudini transformed it into a Carmelite convent in 1932.
