Abbaye Saint-André de Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, Benedictine abbey on Mont Andaon, Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, France
The Saint-André Abbey sits within Fort Saint-André's walls, featuring terraced gardens filled with Mediterranean plants and century-old olive trees.
Established in 982 near Saint Casarie's tomb, the abbey grew to control 212 churches and priories across Provence by the 13th century.
The abbatial palace contains vaulted rooms decorated with Emile Bernard murals and hosts regular concerts, exhibitions, and workshops throughout the year.
The abbey opens from March to October, with guided tours available daily except Mondays, and entrance fees range from 7.50 to 9 euros.
From its terraces, visitors can see panoramic views of the Papal Palace, Mont Ventoux, and the Luberon mountain range.
