ST. PAUL'S ABBEY
Benedictine abbey welcoming people in monastic retreat.
This Benedictine abbey, founded in 1889, is affiliated with the Solesmes congregation. The monks were quickly expelled by the anti-Catholic laws in 1901. They withdrew to the Netherlands and did not return to France until after the First World War. From that time on, they set about enlarging the abbey with the monks' chapel and the new guesthouse. The monks made famous religious ceramics (patron saint, catechism puzzle...). The abbey welcomes people on monastic retreat. An unusual spiritual experience.

monastiques ou l'accueil de pèlerins sur la via Francigena qui relie Canterbury à Rome. Les dames sont invitées à l'abbaye Notre-Dame, située à proximité.
Liturgie tridentine tout à fait traditionnelle.
Petit magasin avec les produits de l'abbaye (légumes, pain, céramiques), des produits divers d'autres abbayes et très beau choix de livres religieux.
A 8 km de Saint-Omer.
