The Sainte-Marie de la Tourette convent was built in 1959 by the architect Le Corbusier. Created at the instigation of the Reverend Father Couturier, the objective was simple: to mix a more modern architecture with religious life by freeing itself from the conventional forms that the convents had seen until then. Today the convent houses about ten people from the community of Dominican friars. This welcoming and meeting place offers artistic encounters, exhibitions and guided tours. You also have the option of staying on site, but remember to book 15 days in advance. All information is available here: couventdelatourette.fr
