Abbaye Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux, Benedictine abbey in Le Barroux, France
The abbey features Romanesque architecture with stone walls, arched windows, and a bell tower rising above the Provençal landscape at Mont Ventoux foothills.
Founded in 1978 by Dom Gérard Calvet, the monastery received its official abbey status in 1989 through consecration by Cardinal Édouard Gagnon.
The monks maintain traditional Benedictine practices through daily prayers, agricultural work, and the creation of products including wine, olive oil, and bread.
Visitors can attend daily masses, explore the monastery grounds, and purchase locally made products at the abbey shop from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The community broadcasts their Divine Office ceremonies online, allowing people worldwide to participate in their daily prayers through website streaming.
