Abbaye de Clairac, Benedictine abbey in Clairac, France.

The stone walls of Abbaye de Clairac rise along the Lot River, featuring three gardens, traditional monastic architecture, and restored living quarters.

Founded around 760 during Pepin the Short's reign, the abbey housed 150 religious members by the early 16th century before the French Revolution changed its purpose.

The monastery buildings demonstrate the evolution of religious architecture from the 13th century through various reconstructions and adaptations over time.

The abbey functions as an event venue with multiple halls, accommodations, swimming pool, and recreational facilities for celebrations and group gatherings.

The property includes a direct access to the Lot River with a dedicated platform for water activities and riverside relaxation.
