    The abbey is located directly on the Way of St. James. If you want, you can spend the night here, stroll through the gardens or buy the delicious specialties specially produced in the monastery shop.

      The abbey "La Fille-Dieu" is a place of silence and prayer. It is located directly on the Way of St. James. Even today, some nuns still live in the monastery and practice their faith here. The Benedictine nuns have been at home here continuously since 1268. Important! The religious community is happy to offer travelers accommodation and sells homemade delicacies in the monastery shop. This includes an aromatic honey mustard that is made according to an old recipe found in the monastery.
      While the nuns hold their devotions in the church, it is open to the public. Silence and respect are the top priority.
