Carmel de Pontoise, Carmelite convent in Pontoise, France
The Carmel de Pontoise complex includes gardens, multiple buildings, and a chapel arranged around a central courtyard at 55 rue Pierre Butin.
Founded in 1605 as the second Carmelite monastery in France, the convent received its first prioress Anne de Saint-Barthélemy, who worked with Saint Teresa of Avila.
The monastery maintains the Theresian Carmelite traditions through daily prayers, meditation practices, and religious ceremonies within its consecrated spaces.
Visitors can access specific areas of the monastery during designated hours, while the main living quarters remain reserved for the resident Carmelite nuns.
In 2023, Brazilian Carmelite nuns from Pouso Alegre arrived to reinvigorate the aging community, ensuring the continuation of this historical institution.
