Sénanque Abbey
Sénanque Abbey, founded 1148, consecrated 1178, is a brilliant example of the sober architecture, Bernhard of Clairvaux wanted to see, for the monastries of the Cistercians (aka "White Monks").
Though raided and looted during the Wars of Religion, nationalized and sold after the French Revolution, the whole complex still seems to be very intact and untouched. It is probably the by far most photographed abbey in the Provence. The majotity of guidebooks I have seen, have a photo of this abbey on the front. And there are certain spots, called "Kodak Points", where 90% of these photos are taken. This one too.
