Carmel de la Paix, Carmelite monastery in Mazille, France
Carmel de la Paix is a Carmelite monastery in Burgundy that blends modern architectural design by José Luis Sert with monastic tradition. The buildings sit within a rural setting and function as a working community for religious life.
The monastery was founded in 1970 and later received recognition as a protected monument and 20th-century heritage site. These designations honored its notable architectural contribution to the postwar period.
The monastery serves as a center for contemplative living, where daily spiritual practices shape the rhythm of community life within its walls. Visitors experience a space dedicated to quiet reflection and religious devotion.
The monastery sits on Route du Carmel and welcomes visitors for spiritual retreats, requiring advance contact before arrival. The rural setting means visiting requires planning and appropriate timing.
Mondays are observed as Desert Days at the monastery, with minimal scheduled activities apart from evening prayer when a priest is available. This practice creates a distinct rhythm for the community and offers insight into deep contemplative routines.
