Step into the serene world of 12th-century monastic life with a visit to Le Thoronet Abbey, a stunning example of Cistercian architecture in Provence. Built with simplicity and precision, the abbey reflects the ultra-pious spirit of the Cistercian order, designed to eliminate distractions and focus the mind on spiritual devotion. Wander through the stone cloisters, church, and communal spaces, where echoes of a disciplined, austere lifestyle still linger. The harmonious proportions and natural acoustics reveal the monks’ deep connection to silence, structure, and purpose. A visit to this living museum offers a peaceful, thought-provoking journey into a long-forgotten way of life, preserved in stone and soul
