Abbaye Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to the Abbaye Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux. As you stand here on the Chemin des Rabassières, you are surrounded by the quintessential landscape of the Vaucluse: olive groves, vineyards, and the scent of wild herbs in the air. This abbey is not just a building; it is a center of deep spiritual practice and a modern marvel of traditional craftsmanship. Located at the foot of Mount Ventoux, the abbey serves as a home for a community of Benedictine monks who follow the ancient rule of Saint Benedict. As you look toward the horizon, you can see the jagged peaks of the Dentelles de Montmirail, which frame this monastery in a setting that feels as though it has been frozen in time for centuries. Today, you will discover that while these stone walls look like they have stood since the Middle Ages, their history is much closer to our own time.
