    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.
