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.
