Tournay Abbey, Benedictine monastery in Tournay, France
The monastery complex sits along the Arros river, featuring modern architectural elements designed by Guillaume Gillet and completed in 1958.
The monastic community transferred from Madiran to Tournay in 1952, establishing a new foundation on the site of an 11th-century priory.
Twenty monks maintain traditional Benedictine practices through daily prayers, Bible readings, and communal work activities within the monastery walls.
Visitors can join prayer services at specific times, with morning Laudes at 6:30 AM and evening Vespers at 6:30 PM on weekdays.
The monastery operates a fruit pastry workshop producing the Pavé de l'Abbaye, combining fruit paste with dark chocolate since 1994.
