Monastère Saint-Benoît de Brignoles, Benedictine monastery in Brignoles, France.

The stone monastery includes a Romanesque church, agricultural areas with orchards, and multiple buildings spread across 33 hectares of land.

Originally constructed in the 11th century by a family from Rians, the monastery was given to Saint-Victor Abbey in 1025 before becoming a Templar commandery.

The monastery follows traditional Benedictine practices with eight daily prayer services, including pre-dawn gatherings featuring Gregorian chants in Latin.

Visitors can access the church, attend masses, walk designated paths through the grounds, and purchase homemade products in the monastery kitchen shop.

The international English-speaking community of three monks maintains beehives, raises poultry, and tends to gardens within the monastery grounds.
