Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque

The Abbey was beautiful, even though we visited before the lavender season. We took the non guided tour with the Histopad and it was very informative and interesting. There are discounts for students and kids under 18, so it is a good destination for a family trip.

Worth visiting, specially if you’re student as you walk in for free. The cloister and surroundings are gorgeous

This touristy destination is a very nice place to visit. In addition to the lovely church, you have a wide amount of lavender shown in all the fields. However, this place is very touristy and hard to find parking, many people also act rude by picking lavender not supposed to be picked, and even some people having a picnic. If you ignore these faults, this place is a wonderful destination if you come along this area.

Beautiful! lavender is not even slightly in bloom (June 1 2025) but still a lovely visit.

A magnificent spot in the valley not far from Gordes, especially with the lavender is full color. The tour of the monastery i definitely worth the 8.50 €. Grab a histo-pad and get guided at your own pace and in the language of your choice. The museum shop is well equipped. Beware that dogs are not allowed and remember dress properly! Shawls are available should you need it.

Beautiful monestary nestled in a lovely valley with lavender fields. Interesting tour, and very well-stocked gift shop. Definitely worth a visit, though the access was chaotic. There is a relatively large car park right outside the Abbey, which had plenty of spots available, but of course that wasn't apparent, so people assumed that they needed to park outside the gates and along the access road, which caused numerous traffic jams.

Superb! If you catch lavender in bloom it's a place out of the story. It is certainly a perfect example of how monastic life merges with tourism. Don't limit yourself to just visiting the store (which is really special) but also take a tour of the monastery. We weren't lucky enough to see the blooming lavender fields, but instead we caught a quiet day with very few visitors (I think there were 10 cars at most in the parking lot) which allowed us to enjoy the unreal tranquility of the place .

A beautiful, picturesque Abbey, steeped in serenity. I visited the Abbey in April, with all countryside in bloom and green. The historical value of the Abbey dates back centuries, and it’s wonderful to walk around the different sections and learn about it. There is a hiking path connecting the Abbey with Gordes village, if anyone is interested. There is lavender planted in all surroundings, making the place unique.
