Abbaye Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation du Barroux

Abbaye Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation du Barroux, Benedictine monastery in Le Barroux, France.

The Abbaye Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation du Barroux is a Benedictine monastery of about thirty nuns in Le Barroux, Vaucluse. Its long pale-yellow buildings with low red-tile roofs stand around a paved courtyard; the main facade has two upper windows above two slit windows, four flat pilasters divide the lower wall, and a square tower topped by a cross rises at the right end. A lower left wing holds an arched wooden double door with a lantern on the wall. The abbey church was completed in 2005.

Four young women gathered around Mother Élisabeth de La Londe in 1979 to form a Benedictine community near the Abbey of Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux. The land was bought in 1987, canonical recognition followed in 1989 under the motu proprio Ecclesia Dei, and the foundation was raised to an abbey in 1992. The abbey church was completed in 2005.

The place takes its name from the Annunciation, a central event in Christian tradition that the community honors through their daily spiritual practice. The nuns live and work together in the grounds, making this a functioning monastic community rather than a historical relic.

The site welcomes visitors who want to attend daily services held at set times throughout the day. The monastery also has a small shop where you can buy handmade items produced by the residents.

The community is known for its recordings of Gregorian chants that have been distributed worldwide through commercial releases. This artistic activity shows that the monastery shares its spiritual tradition with the outside world through modern means.
