Abbaye de Belloc, Benedictine abbey in Urt, France.
The Notre-Dame de Belloc Abbey stands in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region, featuring stone architecture and surrounded by pastoral landscapes near the Atlantic coast.
Founded in 1875 by Abbé Joël Chauvelot, the monastery underwent periods of exile between 1903 and 1918 due to anti-clerical laws in France.
The monastery maintains the Benedictine tradition of 'Ora et Labora', with monks participating in six daily prayer services and celebrating mass in French with Gregorian chants.
Visitors can purchase the abbey's handcrafted sheep's milk cheese, which requires three months of aging in special cellars under precise humidity conditions.
The monks produce a distinct flat disc cheese measuring 35 centimeters in diameter, characterized by its golden rind and nutty flavor notes.
