Monastère de la Dormition-de-la-Mère-de-Dieu à La Faurie, Orthodox monastery in La Faurie, France.
The monastery stands on a remote plateau in the Hautes-Alpes department, surrounded by mountains and featuring multiple prayer halls and living quarters.
Joseph Raïsi established the monastery in 1970, transforming ruins into a religious complex with the first liturgy celebrated in 1971 by Father Cyrille.
The monastery follows Greek Orthodox traditions with daily prayers, liturgical services, and religious celebrations according to the Orthodox calendar throughout the year.
Visitors need to arrange their stay in advance and follow specific dress codes while participating in religious services or exploring the monastery grounds.
The monastery maintains a strict daily schedule combining communal prayers with periods of solitude, following traditional monastic practices from Mount Athos.
