Couvent des Cordeliers des Thons, Franciscan monastery in Les Thons, France.

Couvent des Cordeliers des Thons is a former Franciscan monastery whose long pale facade with reddish-brown tiled roof is divided into three sections, each with a different colour, since the buildings were split between three brothers in 1812. A projecting entrance bay with a pointed gable stands on the left, and a square tower with a pyramidal roof closes the right end behind a low stone wall and iron gate. The church of Notre-Dame-des-Anges, cloister, refectories and a cell of a Cordelier friar survive.

The monastery was founded in 1452 by Guillaume de Saint-Loup and Jeanne de Choiseul with the backing of Duke Jean II of Lorraine. The Franciscan friars built it to establish a significant religious center in northeastern France.

The monastery reflects its religious past through the spaces where friars spent their daily lives in prayer and work. The art collection on display tells the story of how this place mattered to the Franciscan community across the region.

Guided visits of the site can be arranged, and there are spaces available for meetings and group activities. The facilities support both cultural visits and events at this historical location.

The convent is split between three owners, which explains the three different facades visible today; the division dates from 1812, when the buildings were shared among three brothers. The church and the friars' former living quarters belong to the Saône Lorraine association, which restored the roof frame and covering with flat tiles in 2012–2013.
