The name "Pierre-qui-Vire" (Peter-who-Vire) of this abbey, founded in 1850, comes from a natural feature: a loose rock that can be set in motion by simple pressure. Today, the stone no longer moves and is topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary.
With its modern, clean lines, the abbey stands out. The community of monks who still live there make excellent cheeses. A word to the wise, gourmets.

The Sainte-Marie de la Pierre-qui-Vire abbey was built in 1850 and renovated in 1953 and then in 1992. Today, it is in perfect condition and it still welcomes monks.

Located in the heart of the Morvan forest, the Abbey of La Pierre-qui-Vire was founded in the 19th century. It owes its name to an imposing granite block "in equilibrium," an emblem of the place. An almost suspended atmosphere reigns here.
