CARMEL DE MORLAIX
Go there and contact
Carmel of Morlaix having some rooms for retreats in silence and solitude, and receiving various guests
Established in 1619 at the instigation of Anne de Saint Barthélémy, companion of Saint Teresa of Avila, this Carmelite monastery is located in the old town of Morlaix, on a 2-hectare site. Built into the rock, this castle-like monastery attracts pilgrims to venerate a statue of the Virgin Mary housed in a niche. A chapel was built in 1424 next to the fountain, which remains today. The nuns were dispersed during the French Revolution, but bought back their monastery in 1816. Today, the Carmélites welcome people seeking silence.
