Abbaye de Chambarand, Cistercian abbey near Roybon, France
Located at 616 meters altitude in the Chambaran state forest, the abbey stands along the Galauret stream in southeastern France.
Founded in 1868 by monks from Sept-Fons Abbey, the monastery was built on the site of a former farmhouse known as Russian Castle.
The abbey maintains traditional Cistercian practices, with the religious community following a schedule of prayer, study, and manual labor throughout the day.
Visitors can purchase religious items and local products at the abbey shop, which opens Monday and Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 11:45 and 14:45 to 17:00.
The Bernardine sisters who arrived in 2020 now produce cosmetics in collaboration with the Nový Dvůr Trappist Abbey in Czech Republic.
