Made in France at the Abbey

Built in 1147 by Cistercian brothers, the community was driven out during the Revolution. It was not until the end of the 19th century that sisters recreated a religious life there.



War... and chocolate

Hundred Years War, Wars of Religion, armed bands punctuate the life of the abbey for several centuries. More devastating than wars and the madness of men, what is worse for a monastery? The order!

A rule which requires that more than lax abbots, elected by the king, steal the revenues of the abbeys and leave them bloodless ... Became national during the Revolution, Bonneval welcomed Cistercian sisters in 1870.

They restore the premises and set up a chocolate factory there: even today, they still make the famous chocolates of Bonneval, according to an unchanged recipe of which only they have the secret!
