Abbaye de la Coudre, Trappistine abbey in Laval, France.
The Abbey of La Coudre encompasses multiple buildings where forty-five Cistercian-Trappistine nuns maintain a monastic community through daily prayer and work sessions.
Founded in 1819 during the revival of monastic life in France, the Abbey of La Coudre established itself as a center for Cistercian spirituality and self-sustaining practices.
The nuns dedicate their time between religious services, manufacturing traditional food products, and offering spiritual guidance to visitors seeking contemplation and reflection.
Located on Rue Saint Benoit in Laval, the abbey sells Trappe cheese, dessert preparations, chocolates, and religious leather goods through their on-site monastic shop.
The community produces specialized flan preparations in various flavors under the MONASTIC brand, maintaining traditional recipes developed within the abbey walls.
