    Tips

    In 1014 the Saint-André Abbey of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon was attributed to the Benedictines, who took over the possession of the churches located on Mount Thouzon , with their dependency. Ingilramnus, Bishop of Cavaillon, confirms this new institution in his diocese in 1014 by handing over the property.
    Raymond IV of Saint-Gilles, Count of Toulouse, transforms the Abbey of Thouzon into an allodial fief in 1088 before setting out on the First Crusade. In 1096, Pope Urban II confirmed the possession of Thouzon in the Abbey of Saint-André by only mentioning Saint-Pierre-de-Thouzon.

      Difficult to access (by mountain bike for me), the ruins of this ancient fortified monastery are well worth it. I love these preserved but unrestored places; the imagination works, and the few explanations provided are enough to understand. The magnificent surrounding landscape justifies the monks' choice.

        To climb to the Château de Thouzon, mountain bike path, 57 m, lots of stones, the other side seems, so to speak, a little easier to climb, but above all, go back down that way
