Summer Lavender at Abbaye Notre Dame de Sénanque
: Abbaye Notre Dame de Sénanque, is an active 12th-century Cistercian abbey near the village of Gordes in the département of the Vaucluse in Provence, France. It's most famous for its stunning summer lavender fields, but you can also get guided tours of the church itself and the cloisters. Tony and Helen visited it on a beautiful summer's day before hiking to Gordes (see the videos about the walk and the village of Gordes as well - coming soon!).
Well, this is the approach to the Abbaye de Sénanque, they've thoughtfully planted some lavender fields to the sides, the road is to the right, and in fact, no queue, you just turn up and walk in there, although you have to have a guided tour to get round the Abbey itself.
There seem to be quite a few Asian tourists here, which is pretty good. Everyone's attracted by the lavender.
The Vietnamese guy and girls that we took the taxi with travelled all the way from Barcelona today to see La Lavande - and they're going back tonight! And that is a long way from here.
Not quite as much lavender as we'd hoped, but still... [Ed: at this stage, I hadn't see the next field!]
Well, there certainly are a lot of mainland tourists here, as there are in a lot of other places in Europe. And they pose here just the same as they do anywhere else! But the important thing is they're all having fun. There they are, they're all waving at me. Smile. girls!
Ah, they weren't smiling at me, they were smiling at their tour guide who was photographing them. Oh well, you can't win them all...
Well, here's the obligatory shot of La Lavande, in front of - yes, you've guessed it - the Abbaye de Sénanque.
I know you've seen this shot before, but you've got to admit, it's a stunner, isn't it?
There's lots of tourists here. But they keep this one field in front of the Abbey planted so that you can get that shot. There are lots of other fields around, but this one is especially photogenic. So you walk straight in, go right down past the other fields, and you can get this shot.
And to the right - there's just a hillside to the left - you can see the quarters of the monks. And if I swing round - actually I was resting on a wall there, so this will be a bit shakey - you can see the surrounds. And there at the back there's quite a sizeable lavender field, in between they've planted what will be be quite a large lavender field, presumably for next year, it will be very good.
Oh, and here are the Vietnamese and the Japanese girl who came from Vienna, the Vietnamese from Barcelona, and we all met together and got a taxi to Abbaye Sénanque and Gordes from Cavaillon. International co-operation! OK, smile, girls!
Ah, Helen's having a good look at these marvellous fields - beautiful colour - in front of the Abbey. Here's a different view. Unfortunately, the little baby there doesn't seem very impressed!
Well, in spite of all the many tourists, the Abbaye de Sénanque is a very peaceful place. And the lavender makes it very beautiful.
Now here's a view of the Abbey from the other side, and we're just about to depart on a walk back to Gordes which the signpost says, I'm glad to say, is about 2.3 km. Well, we'll see. But in any event, we've got what we came to see...

France : Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque #france #gordes #provence #abbayesenanque
Abbaye de Sénanque beautifully situated in the valley, the drive to it is already worth the effort. Be sure to stop and enjoy the view.
It is very beautiful in July with the blooming lavender fields in front. But unfortunately it attracts hordes of tourists, which means that the access road is full. Parking space is large enough, but the visitors make it a mess by standing on the narrow road. There is free parking, you do not have to park at all along the road. Everyone stops at the road for that one photo that you can find everywhere. The traffic there is a bit of chaos especially at busy times. Beautiful to see with all the lavender. There is a large souvenir shop, you can find everything there. We chose a tour without a guide but with Ipad. The places you can visit are not very large. Nice to see and let the quiet peace come in. If there aren't too many tourists at least.
You can find this beauty near Gordes in the Provence of France

Gordes - Jewel of the Luberon
( Gordes is often described as the Jewel of the Luberon and claims to be the most beautiful village in France (well, they would, wouldn't they!). But you have to admit, there's some truth behind the hyperbole, and thousands of tourists every year flock to this picturesque perched village above the plain, and some stay - Sotheby's International Realty have an office there...
Tony and Helen explore Gordes after their walk from the nearby lavender fields at the Abbaye Notre Dame de Sénanque, on a beautiful sunny summer's afternoon. And take time out to enjoy the view from the Cercle Républicain Cafe ...

From Abbaye de Sénanque to Gordes: A Walk In the Luberon
From Abbaye de Sénanque to Gordes: Tony and Helen take a walk in the Luberon countryside with some intrepid travellers - and a roller-bag!
Well, we've done a bit of climbing, and if this is a bit shakey, it's probably because I'm a bit out of breath!
We've made it to the top of the hill of the valley of Sénanque. Now this, you have to admit, is a view, even by Australian standards. Well, that's halfway, let's take the road on!
According to the sign, we've just done .6 of a K from the Abbaye de Sénanque. I've got to say, it did seem further, but it was up hill. Now there they're saying that we only have 1.7 to go to Gordes. Of course, the real question is, is it going down, or is it going up?
Well, we've got our little team together, and one of them, believe it or not, has a ROLL-ON! Yes, we're carrying it!
OK, off we go!
Well, just coming into Gordes, we've encountered this borie, which is a double borie, in fact. You can see these stone walls that we've been following, really quite well-built, and here is a double borie - I just showed you the front entrance. Helen said it's like a stone igloo. Amazing, isn't it?
Well, we're all quite pleased to have arrived on the road, as you see - oh, hello! There's the road, leading into Gordes, and according to this, there you go, 1.7 to Sénanque, so that's what we're supposed to have done. And that's pretty much the type of road, apart from the stone walls, we've seen on the way. So don't try this in light shoes, you will end up with very bruised feet.
Here are our intrepid adventurers, with the Indiana Jones look. We've made it all the way to Gordes, thank God! And now we can actually use the roll-on as a roll-on, instead of carrying it, getting some pretty disbelieving stares on the way...
These are the cross-roads where we've just come to the main road, opposite Gordes. And as you can probably see and hear, wow, it's a change from the path! The traffic is quite heavy, and all because of THIS [view of Gordes].
I've clambered over the wall, and am standing somewhat precariously looking over Gordes itself. I have to say, it is quite spectacular. And a lot of work seems to have been done here over the years, looking at those brand-new walls. Well, we've got to walk round a loop to get there, and hopefully we'll be able to get some more views over the other side.

L'ABBAYE NOTRE DAME DE SENANQUE
En quittant Gordes, il faut emprunter la D177 sur une route sinueuse qui longe la limite intérieure du Parc naturel du Luberon et c’est là en bordure de chaussée, au détour de gorges et au creux d’un vallon solitaire que se cache depuis bientôt neuf siècles l’Abbaye romane Notre-Dame de Sénanque.
Fondé sur le territoire de Gordes en 1148 à l’instigation de l’évêque de Cavaillon, par des moines provenant de l’Abbaye de Mazan dans le Vaucluse. En 1544 lors des guerres de religion, le monastère est incendié par les Vaudois (communauté religieuse du Luberon). L’abbaye fut un temps abandonnée, et une nouvelle petite communauté de moines issus de l’Abbaye de l’île de Saint-Honorat (en face de Cannes) revient à l’Abbaye de Sénanque en 1988, renouant ainsi avec des siècles de tradition cistercienne.
L’Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque est un monastère cistercien et non pas un musée ou un site touristique. Il est possible de profiter de la tranquillité et de la beauté du lieu, d'avoir une vue de l'extérieur de l'église et de l'abbaye. L’été, les champs de lavandes donnent à l’Abbaye un cachet tout particulier à ce lieu de recueillement. Pour les personnes intéressées, la communauté monastique offre la possibilité de découvrir, au cours de quelques visites guidées par semaine (en français, durée une heure, effectif limité), les bâtiments du douzième siècle : cloître, église, salle capitulaire, dortoir, chauffoir... Les visites, à caractère religieux, se déroulent dans le respect de ce lieu consacré à la prière.
IL ETAIT UNE FOIS GORDES ET L'ABBAYE DE SENANQUE 02
L'abbaye, Notre-Dame de Sénanque, est un monastère cistercien en activité, située sur la commune de Gordes, dans le département français du Vaucluse, en région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. Fondé en 1148, elle devient abbaye en 1150. Celle-ci fait partie, avec l'abbaye de Silvacane et l'abbaye du Thoronet, des « trois soeurs provençales », qui témoignent du grand rayonnement de l’ordre cistercien, en Provence. Aujourd'hui prieuré de l'abbaye de Lérins, le monastère, situé dans le vallon où coule la Sénancole, est toujours occupé, par une communauté de moines cisterciens, de la Congrégation Cistercienne de l’Immaculée Conception. Le monastère est fondé sur le territoire de Gordes le 23 juin 1148 (9 de calendes de juillet), à l'initiative d'Alphant (ou Alsaur), évêque de Cavaillon, par des moines cisterciens venant de Mazan (ou Mansiade) dans l'Ardèche. Ceux-ci s'installent dans l'étroite vallée de la Sénancole qui fait partie de l'apanage des seigneurs de Gordes. Au mois d'octobre 1150, l'un d'eux, Guiran de Simiane, la donne à Pierre, premier abbé. Sénanque prospère rapidement au point que, dès 1152, sa communauté est assez nombreuse pour fonder une seconde abbaye dans le Vivarais. Elle bénéficie de nombreuses donations, en particulier de la famille des Simiane, et des seigneurs de Venasque. Le monastère ne tarde pas à installer, parfois très loin, des « granges », sortes d'annexes à la tête des exploitations qui sont mises en valeur par les frères converres, moines « auxiliaires » chargés des tâches agricoles. Mais l'abbaye accumule des richesses peu compatibles, avec les voeux de pauvreté : au XIVe siècle, c'est la décadence. Le recrutement et la ferveur diminuent tandis que la discipline se relâche. Pourtant, la situation s'améliore et le monastère retrouve sa dignité en s'efforçant de respecter l'esprit des fondateurs. En 1544, lors des guerres de religion, des moines sont pendus et le monastère est incendié par les Vaudois, et le bâtiment des converREs, détruit. À la fin du XVIIe siècle, Sénanque ne compte plus que deux religieux. Elle est, par chance, vendue comme bien national en 1791 à un acquéreur qui la préserve de toute destruction et va jusqu'à la faire consolider. Rachetée par l'abbé de Lérinsse, Dom Barnouin, en 1857, elle retrouve sa vocation d'origine : des bâtiments nouveaux viennent flanquer les anciens et 72 moines s'y installent. En 1903, à la suite de l'expulsion des congrégations, les moines sont chassés de l'abbaye. ....Mes sources : Wikipedia
