Carmel de Luçon, with renovated and refurbished living quarters with restored cloisters, offering a beautiful space of light and peace
A little history... The Carmelite convent of Luçon was founded in 1847, by the Carmelite convent of Nantes, at the request of Monsignor Baillès, then bishop of Luçon, near the cathedral. The Carmelites never left this place of origin. The monastic buildings, classical and sober, made of local stone, were built between 1847 and 1858. The chapel was restored in 1996-1997. It offers a place of meditation conducive to liturgy and silent prayer with its Carmelite stained glass windows and biblical bas-reliefs. More recently, the living quarters were refurbished and renovated in 2007-2008 and the cloisters restored in 2013-2014 offering a beautiful space of light and peace. In 2016, the Carmel of Luçon merged with a part of the sisters of the Carmel of Chavagnes-en-Paillé which had to close. For reasons of space all the postulants could not come to Luçon and had to join other carmels. Four rooms, only for women, for individual retreats as well as a small oratory located at the reception of the monastery, allow for the reception of retreatants. Mass is celebrated at 9:30 am on Sundays and at 11:30 am on weekdays. Every Sunday evening, from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm in summer, and from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm in winter, an hour of adoration is open to all to pray for vocations (except on the first Sunday of the month). From Tuesday to Saturday, the store is open for meetings and discoveries of various monastic products and religious books.
