As some in the area are not, this one is conveniently located and at least works. We even could use it to repair a tubeless tire.

The Senones monastery, an abbey in the Rabodeau valley in the present-day town of Senones in Lorraine, was founded in 661 by Saint Gondelbert, the former Archbishop of Sens. The documentary evidence is incomplete. The Benedictine monk Richer of Senones wrote the story up to 1263. However, his work is disputed. Around two hundred monks are said to have lived in the abbey in the 9th century. The monastery became a fief of the bishops of Metz, and Angilram in particular tried to gain ties. The order's power lay with the diocese of Toul. In 1103, Kunegund, the widow of Matfried of Tincry, and her sons donated goods to the abbey's Tures priory. Her eldest son Gobert became vogt of Senones in 1105. From 1111 to 1126, Hermann II of Salm was vogt. His son Henry I continued his work. Abbot Augustin Calmet became famous through his Bible commentary La Saint Bible en Latin et en françois, avec une commentaire littéral et critique. Prince Konstantin Alexander Joseph of Salm-Salm ordered the secularization of Senones Abbey on February 24, 1790, against which the abbey protested in the chapter on March 1 and filed a complaint with the Imperial Chamber Court in Wetzlar. Nevertheless, the monastery was dissolved in 1793. The bell tower is from the High Middle Ages, the other buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1983, the abbey was classified as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abtei_Senones
