Monastère Saint-Benoît de Brignoles

Monastère Saint-Benoît de Brignoles is a Benedictine community housed in stone buildings centered around a Romanesque church. The grounds include orchards, farmland, and multiple structures arranged for prayer, living quarters, and daily work.

The monastery was founded in the 11th century and changed hands between different religious orders throughout the centuries. These transitions shaped how the community evolved and adapted over time.

The monastery maintains Benedictine traditions where daily prayer services shape the rhythm of life on the grounds. Visitors can experience how this spiritual practice structures each day and connects the community to centuries of monastic living.

The grounds are open for visitors to explore the church, join prayer services, and walk the designated paths. A small shop sells homemade products made in the monastery kitchen.

The monks maintain beehives and tend gardens as part of their daily practice on the grounds. The community includes English-speaking members from abroad who bring an international presence to this centuries-old place.
