Visit Le Thoronet Abbey

This architectural jewel classed as a Historical Monument since 1841 attracts many visitors each year. Rightly so, this Cistercian abbey built between 1160 and 1230 is a master piece that would inspire even the best authorities in the matter, marked by a truly harmonious distribution of its volumes, both pure and elegant. It is one of the «three Provençal sisters» along with the two other Cistercian abbeys in the region: Sénanque and Silvacane.

After centuries of occupancy by monks, the abbey unintentionally went into decline. Thankfully, it was saved following restoration work undertaken from 1841 by Prosper Mérimée, writer but also inspector of historical monuments.
