Cistercian Abbeys Provence
 
Cistercian Abbeys : Senanque, Silvacane and Thoronet,
the three sisters of Provence…
Senanque Abbey - Detail

 

Nestled in the most secret of the Provençal hinterlands, the three Cistercian sisters reveal themselves as though regretfully to the visitor come to disturb the solitude of their retreat.

They embody a different Provence than that of beaches, orchards, vineyards and majestic towns that attract huge crowds. This Provence is that of shaded valleys and wild stone, hidden streams and mystic springs.
