Explore the Chartreuse Saint-Sauveur, stroll through its cloister which is one of the largest in France and immerse yourself in the daily life of the Carthusian monks and lay brothers of yesteryear.
Jerome Morel
A rare heritage
Built thanks to the bequest of a wealthy draper merchant from Villefranche-de-Rouergue, the monastery presents a precious heritage. During your visit, admire:
The carved wooden church stalls small characters.
The stained glass colors of the vestibule and the chapter house.
La stone lace tracery of small cloister.
The play of shadow and light in the galleries of the large cloister.
La reading pulpit of the refectory, built entirely within the thickness of the wall.
La tabula, an astonishing XNUMXth century painted wooden panel that served as a timetable for the monks.
This cloister is one of the largest in France, it served the twelve hermitages in which the monks lived.
An immersion in the life of the Carthusian Fathers
Immerse yourself in the daily life of the Carthusian Fathers and imagine this way of life, around very strict rules that combine loneliness and silence.
Completely cut off from the world, the fathers and brothers devoted themselves to prayer and study. The singularity of their existence, which some still lead today, questions both specialists and simple observers.
Stroll through the church, the vestibule, the chapter house, the small cloister, the refectory, the old kitchens and the large cloister and soak up the spirituality that fills the site.
