About Abbaye du Thoronet
Abbaye du Thoronet is a former Cistercian abbey that was built in the late twelfth and early thirteenth century, now restored as a museum. The church, monks' building and cloister are all made of cut stone laid without mortar, using an ancestral and austere technique, expressing the very essence of Cistercian art: destitution, purity and simplicity. For centuries, the stones carry the songs of the monks thanks to the unique acoustics of the Abbey of Thoronet. (Le Thoronet, France)
