Chartreuse de la Verne, Carthusian monastery in Collobrières, France
The Chartreuse de la Verne stands at 425 meters altitude within the Massif des Maures forest, constructed with local serpentine stone and volcanic marble.
Founded in 1170 on an abandoned priory site, the monastery received its first Roman Catholic church consecration in 1174 under the guidance of bishops from Toulon and Fréjus.
The monastery maintains its religious function through a community of Bethlehem sisters who settled there in 1983, continuing centuries of monastic traditions.
Visitors can access the monastery daily from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, except on Tuesdays during spring and autumn months, with modified schedules during summer.
The structure incorporates a small cloister with Renaissance-style unfinished arcades connecting the refectory to Saint Bruno chapel and a large cloister leading to monks' cells.
