Chartreuse de la Verne

Nestling in the heart of the Maures massif, the Chartreuse de la Verne offers a haven of silence, nature and ancient history. In the heart of the Maures massif, shrouded in forest and silence, the Chartreuse de la Verne emerges like a well-kept secret. Founded in 1170 on the ruins of an ancient priory, it has always borne the name Notre-Dame de la Verne. Its stones have withstood fire, pillage, war and the Revolution. Three fires in the Middle Ages reduced it to ashes. Each time, the monks rebuilt. Until 1792, when, forced to flee, they left behind an empty sanctuary, sold as national property. Nature then took over. Wind, rain, oblivion... Until, in 1968, a handful of enthusiasts founded the association Les Amis de la Verne. In 1986, around thirty nuns from the Bethlehem family revived the spiritual vocation of the site. Each of them lives in a hermitage, in silence, prayer and work. Their presence transforms the Carthusian monastery into a place of profound peace, which you feel as soon as you take your first steps. Today, part of the monastery is open to the public. Here you can discover the gatehouse, the bakery, a monk's cell and the 12th-century Romanesque church, the only place where visitors and nuns share a mutual respect and silence. Coming to La Verne is more than just visiting a monument. It's a moment of suspension, a break from the hustle and bustle. It's hearing the murmur of the centuries, feeling the strength of a place that has never ceased to be reborn. - How do you visit the Chartreuse de la Verne? The Monastery can be visited freely and independently. When you arrive, you will be given a tour booklet to guide you along the route. This booklet presents the main areas accessible to the public and guides you through the monument, following a defined route, for a calm and rewarding exploration. The visit takes place in a way that respects the silence and the monastic life that is still present here. - How much does it cost to visit the Chartreuse de la Verne?
