Notre-Dame de Boscodon Abbey

The Notre-Dame de Boscodon Abbey, founded in 1142 in the Hautes-Alpes, is a gem of Romanesque architecture. Built by monks of the Chalais order, it became Benedictine in the 15th century and experienced periods of prosperity and decline. Transformed into a stable after the French Revolution, it was gradually restored from 1972 onwards thanks to the initiative of the Dominican community and volunteers.

Its architecture, inspired by the Cistercians, is based on symbolic geometric shapes and harmonious proportions. Today, the abbey, classified as a historical monument, hosts visitors and cultural events, attracting nearly 90,000 people per year.
