Truly a religious experience. Definitely worth staying solo for a few nights if you can get a room. By far one of Corbusier’s most impressive works and the fact that you can actually stay here makes it so special. Rooms are perfect, beds super comfortable, staff is friendly and accommodating. Make sure not to miss a service, I cried it was so beautiful.

Le Corbusier was the architect - with Yannis Xenakis (for some windows...)
Built by Le Corbusier (who was commissioned "to dwell in the silence of men of prayer and study and to construct a church for them") is an amazing place. It's a model of simplicity and (obviously) functionality, but it also has a striking religious feeling. The church is the best part; it may look like a giant empty room but it invites silence and reflection.
We were very impressed by this monasteryjust outside our camping ground. You can always walk around in the surrounding forest during the day, but you can also get a tour of the on Sunday at 14:00 or 14:45 (only in French by an entertaining monk) We think the tour is certainly worth the price.
One of Le Corbusier’s masterpieces remaining in France, good to see the guide line for the modern architecture.
Very interesting place. A nice, beautiful park around a very atypical monastery, on the French hilly countryside not very far from Lyon. A cool way to spend a sunny afternoon. Recommended.
Absolutely gorgeous building but excruitiatingly frustrating visit as an architect. Very indifferent guide that confesses troughout she finds the building ugly. As a result visitors feel enabled to be loud, rude and disrespectful.
A significant piece of architecture by Le Corbusier with Iannis Xennakis for the Dominican Order. Particularly, this building shows Corbu's use of light cannons, expressive use of concrete, and a mathematical rhythm of architectural elements. Definitely worth visiting if coming to Lyon.
