Tamié Abbey, Trappist monastery in Plancherine, France
The white stone buildings of Tamié Abbey stand at 900 meters elevation in the Bauges mountain range of Savoie, surrounded by alpine meadows.
Founded in 1132 by Peter of Tarentaise as a daughter house of Bonnevaux Abbey, the monastery experienced displacement during the French Revolution in 1797.
The thirty monks at Tamié Abbey maintain Cistercian traditions through daily prayer schedules while producing cheese according to centuries-old methods.
Visitors can purchase the abbey's cheese products at a dedicated store located 300 meters from the monastery between 10 AM and 12 PM daily.
The monastery operates a methanization plant that converts cheese production byproducts into biogas, providing sustainable energy for local communities.
