Abbaye Notre-Dame de Venière

The Notre-Dame de Venière Abbey stands between Cluny and Cîteaux, near the town of Tournus in eastern France, housing 40 Benedictine nuns.

Established in 1963 on a site with monastic origins from the 7th century, the abbey continues the traditions of Benedictine monasticism in Burgundy.

The resident nuns maintain daily schedules of prayer, work, and communal activities while offering spiritual guidance to visitors seeking personal renewal.

The monastery welcomes guests for stays between 2 and 8 days throughout the year, except January, with opportunities to join prayer sessions.

Located near several other religious communities, including Taizé and Carmel de la Paix, the abbey forms part of a regional network of spiritual centers.
