Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque

The Abbey of Notre-Dame de Sénanque is a Cistercian monastery since 1148. The monks of Sénanque offer you the possibility to visit the medieval abbey: the abbey church, the cloister, the chapter house, the chauffoir and the old dormitory. Go back in time by visiting with the Histopad! A digital tablet that will plunge you into the life of the first monks of Sénanque and will make you relive the abbey in the 12th century.

Then discover the life of the monks who make up the Sénanque community today.

The shop and bookshop are open from Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and on Sunday from 1.45 pm to 5 pm (timetables vary according to the season, see www.senanque.fr).
