The serpentine road that leads up to the old priory is really beautiful once you arrive at the parking spot you have several options to explore the priory and the surrounding sights there’s a beautiful path going through old olive and holly oak trees that leads to the gift and souvenir shop that’s where you can buy tickets for the priory and shop locally harvested honey and much more. The abbey is just a few minute walk away from the shop. If you take the path on the left side of the abbey you will see the Ganaboie Cross the view over the durance valley is amazing! You have to visit it you will love it! It’s a overall good place for a half day trip even for people who are atheists (like me ) or who aren’t Christian it’s not just for religious people. If you are into history and beautiful landscapes this place is definitely worth a visit

Nice walk, and very nice view over the valley of the Durance
Praying with devoted monks seven times a day is what anybody could hope for! If you searching for silence and true meaning of religion, you should go and listen to the psalms sang by the monks and watch how they live... Breath taking respect and devotion for the superior worlds...
Quiet place! Relax
Current Abbey open to the public. Magnificent and peaceful place. Check opening hours.
A great visit at the end of a never ending mountain road. We did not visit the monastery. Just the small church. It is small and simple but the fact the the monastery is still active makes the whole place very special and mysterious. You can take the path on the left when facing the facade. It leads to an amazing view East, over the Durance. The monastery shop is also good.
Perfect place to find a positive energy.
Very beautiful panorama from the top unfortunately schedules of visit very regulated. Closed at my visit.
