Sénanque Abbey
Sitting in front of the entrance to the book shop at Senanque Abbey. Founded 1148, consecrated 1178 (The abbey! Not the bookstore!). The abbey is a brilliant example of the sober architecture, Bernhard of Clairvaux wanted, for the monasteries of the Cistercians. Though raided and looted during the Wars of Religion, nationalized and sold after the French Revolution, the whole complex seems still very intact.
It is probably the most photographed abbey in the Provence. After having seen all the many postcards and photosbooks in the store behind, I had the impression, that all photos in and around the abbey were taken and published already. Dozend times. Then I noticed the nice reddish colour of the tiles, the entrances to the restrooms, the vending machine (coffee - 50 cents!) and the bins. And a poster of the "Fondation des Monastères", you want to know more?
