En Calcat - Abbaye Saint Benoît

11 Feb 2012 197
Though I could see the steeples of the abbey for quite some time, I lost my way and walked a "detour". The abbey is pretty large and pretty young (for a Benedictian monastery). It was founded in 1890 - and by now offer spiritual exercises. obviously very succesfull, as the car park was full. From my booklet, I knew, that they even offer rooms for "pelerins", but when I reached it, the people at the reception were too busy. As it was a nice day - and still afternoon, I changed my plans, asked for the "tampon" and left. They do have a nice website www.encalcat.com/
