Abbaye du Mont des Cats
A first community of the Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony was settled in 1650 and lasted until the French Revolution which closed the monastery in 1792. In 1826, a new community of Trappists (Reformed Cistercians) was founded, and this congregation has run the abbey ever since.
