Abbaye de Maumont, Benedictine monastery in Juignac, France
The sisters of Maumont Abbey reside in a stone building situated between Angoulême and Bordeaux, maintaining continuous prayer and work schedules.
Founded in 1959, the abbey carries forward a monastic tradition spanning twelve centuries, with its origins traced to the Notre-Dame des Anges community.
