Abbaye de Boulaur, Cistercian abbey in Boulaur, France
The Santa Maria Abbey features a 17th-century cloister with medieval statues and thick buttresses supporting its architectural composition.
Founded in 1142 by Petronille de Chemille from Fontevraud Abbey, the monastery received its name from Latin 'Bonus Locus' meaning good place.
The nuns maintain agricultural traditions through organic farming practices, producing cheese, pate, jams, and recently their own wheat-based beer.
Located at coordinates 43.541111, 0.775278 in the Gers department, the monastery welcomes visitors interested in its religious and agricultural activities.
In 2022, eight nuns from Boulaur Abbey relocated to Notre-Dame des Neiges Abbey to establish a new monastic community.
