Bonneval Abbey, Cistercian abbey in Le Cayrol, France
The stone buildings of Bonneval Abbey stand on a hillside, surrounded by gardens and agricultural lands in the Aveyron region.
Founded in 1147, Bonneval Abbey became a center of monastic life where Cistercian monks established strict religious practices and agricultural development.
The monastery maintains traditional Cistercian practices, with monks dedicating their days to prayer, work, and the production of artisanal chocolates.
Visitors can purchase locally made chocolates and regional products at the abbey shop, which opens daily from morning until evening.
The monastery continues its centuries-old chocolate making tradition, producing confections using recipes developed by the Cistercian community.
