Montmajour is a former abbey in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in France, a few kilometers northeast of Arles. The former monastery is only a few kilometers from Arles and is not only worth a visit for its magnificent view. The small Romanesque hermit chapel, the tombs carved into the rock, the high tower, the cloister and the abbey church transported us back in time. In the tower you can see an interesting documentation about the history of the monastery and the region, in the rooms around the cloister there are very interesting changing exhibitions.
