Chapel of the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Clavas

Highlight • Religious Site

Located at the foot of Mont Felletin, this chapel of a former Cistercian women's abbey has preserved the isolation characteristic of the sites of this austere order. A small medieval-inspired garden adorns the site. Away from the urban hustle and bustle and noise, it is a preserved place that awaits visitors.
