Notre-Dame de Sénanque abbey : life of the monks, history, architecture

Résumé du livre

Notre-Dame de Sénanque Abbey has been a place of prayer, silence and contemplation for nearly nine centuries. The initial approach of its founders - continued by the current community - is shown in the choice of site, the architecture of the buildings and the organisation of the property.

The founding of the monastery deep in the small valley and the simplicity of its design give the impression of serenity and unity. This exceptional setting gives visitors the chance to experience monastic life and the beauty of a life devoted to serving God.
