A place of religiosity and living

The northern part of the monastery of Notre-Dame de Clémence is occupied by a large central cloister surrounded by the solitude cells of the nuns. Its southern section houses a long building grouping the Saint-Bruno chapel intended for laypeople wishing to follow religious services, the large gate, the prison, the service space, and the stables. To the west stand the barn, the bakery, the oil mill, and the cellar. In the center of the monastery are the hotel for visitors, the kitchen, the refectory for Sundays and public holidays meals, the chapter house, the small cloister, the church, the Romanesque chapel, and the sacristy. The presence of a prison reminds visitors that the monastery used to have a right of justice on its lands. Other elements testify to the daily and religious life of the monastic community, whose bread oven was put back into service in 1970 and whose oil mill is one of the oldest in the Var department.
