The former charterhouse of Val-Saint-Martin de Sélignac, which became the Saint-Bruno house in 2001, is a former Carthusian monastery, located in the valley of Sélignac (or Sélignat), in Simandre-sur-Suran in the department of Ain in France. It shelters a few lay people living according to the spirit of Saint Bruno, placed under the spiritual authority of the Reverend Father General of the Carthusian Order.

Hiking

Nestled at the bottom of a valley, on the side of the road which goes from Bourg en Bresse to Oyonnax, this building is only clearly revealed nearby, on the GR, which runs alongside the enclosure. Drainages cut the path in several places, to a greater or lesser extent depending on the rainfall, but are designed to be passable. Access is easy, provided you are properly shod and covered depending on the season.
