Port-du-Salut Abbey, Trappist monastery in Entrammes, France.

The monastery stands on the banks of the Mayenne River, occupying the site of a former Gallic oppidum with substantial stone buildings and gardens.

Following twenty years of exile during Napoleonic suppression, Trappist monks led by Dom Bernard de Girmont established this religious community in February 1815.

The monastery maintains Cistercian traditions through daily prayer schedules, manual labor activities, and agricultural work that contributes to regional development.

Visitors can access the monastery grounds throughout the year for self-guided tours, with approximately 30 rooms available for overnight accommodation.

The hill behind the monastery features the Notre Dame du Triomphe column, where Pope Pius IX granted 100 days of indulgence for reciting three Hail Marys.
