Abbaye Saint-Louis-du-Temple de Vauhallan, Benedictine monastery in Vauhallan, France
The Saint-Louis-du-Temple Abbey sits on the Saclay plateau, featuring a rectangular cloister surrounded by monastic buildings and a church with stained glass windows.
The Benedictine community settled in Vauhallan in 1951, after several relocations, and completed the construction of their current abbey buildings in 1957.
Thirty nuns maintain regular prayer schedules, practicing Gregorian chants and participating in the Liturgy of the Hours throughout each day.
The monastery includes a shop selling handmade items, a guesthouse for spiritual retreats, and two museums displaying historical artifacts and religious art.
Mother Geneviève Gallois created the church's stained glass windows in a dedicated workshop established within the abbey grounds.
