    A listed monastery, an association, Côtes du Rhône wines, accommodation and cultural activities. The former Charterhouse of Valbonne was a monastery of hermit monks of the Carthusian order, whose buildings together cover a large area. Founded in 1203*, it is located in a valley in the heart of a thousand-year-old forest that is home to rare species in the Mediterranean, in the agglomeration municipality of Gard Rhodanien, in the Gard department and in the Occitanie region.

    It has a monastery church, a large cloister (355 meters in circumference) and a small cloister (early 13th century), as well as numerous chapels. Several of its towers, as well as the roof of the monastery church and its bell tower, are covered with glazed tiles in the Burgundian style, which gives the whole an extremely picturesque appearance for a Provençal charterhouse.

      We only drove past, but the view alone was worth the small detour.
