Beschreibung
We are a christian community (Roman Catholic) with an ecumenical vocation, which grew out of a prayer group in Lyon, France. Couples, families and celibates, men and women, have chosen community life to follow Christ and serve the Church and the world. We give our lives to Unity. Everyone is welcome! You don't need to be a religious person to come help us, but we ask you to respect our faith as we respect others'. We encourage dialog and a simple lifestyle.
At the Abbey we have a bio farm with livestock, an orchard, a cheese factory, a confectionary, and many other activities. We live a life of prayer and work in order to discover the richness of fraternity and sharing. We are about 50 people living at the Abbey from 15 different countries.

Nous donnons notre vie pour l'Unité. Tous sont bienvenus ! Vous n'avez pas besoin d'être une personne religieuse ou croyante pour venir nous aider, mais nous vous demandons de respecter notre foi comme nous respectons celle des autres.

Vom Host für Workawayer (Chien)
We had a great experience hosting Mina (Chien) at the abbey. She is very discrete, sociable, calm and at the same time very open and curious. Having the chance to get to know someone from a different culture is always a great joy for us. Thanks you for the time you've spent with us and for your help.

Secondly, the people are genuinely kind hearted. They live a simple life founded in Love.
Finally in terms of a workaway contract,
