Chartreuse de Bonnefoy, Carthusian monastery ruins in Le Béage, France
The stone remnants of Chartreuse de Bonnefoy stand among natural surroundings, with walls and foundations revealing the monastery's original layout and architectural design.
Founded in 1156 through a donation by Lord Guillaume de Fay, the monastery operated continuously until its dissolution during the French Revolution in 1791.
The monastery exemplifies the Carthusian monastic tradition, where monks dedicated their lives to silent prayer and manual labor in individual cells.
Located at D377 - route des Estables in Le Béage, the ruins remain accessible year-round with no entrance fees and allow visitors to bring pets.
The monastery cells were designed as individual houses with private gardens, enabling monks to maintain complete solitude while remaining part of the community.
