L’Abbaye de Notre Dame de Dombes is a Cistercian abbey built in red brick that was completed in 1863 and designed by Pierre Bossan the same architect who designed Fourvière Basilica in Lyon and the basilica in Ars-sur-Formans.

The Abbey was built from 1860 to 1863 at the request of the bishop of the Diocese of Belley-Ars, who wished to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants of the Dombes region. The monks made remarkable contributions to the development of agriculture in the region. Visitors are free to explore on their own, and guided tours of the abbey and farm are offered on certain days. Monastic products are available for purchase, including the famous “Musculine,” an energy-boosting product made from red meat and fruit, used by athletes, young people, the elderly, and those recovering from illness. Also available for purchase are fruit jellies, honey, apple juice, organic cheeses made at the abbey, and products from other monasteries, as well as icons, candles, books, religious items, pottery, and more... Store hours: Daily (closed on Tuesdays): 10:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. (10:50 a.m. on Sundays) and 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (late February through October 31).From 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM from November through the end of February (closed Mondays and Tuesdays): 10:00 AM to 11:45 AM and 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM. In September 2001, the Chemin Neuf Community took over from the Cistercian monks who founded and lived at Notre Dame des Dombes. True to monastic tradition, it continues the monks’ work and prayer. Founded in 1973, the Chemin Neuf Community is a Catholic community with an ecumenical mission, comprising members from various churches. It is made up of single men and women, priests, and married couples. Schedule of religious services: 12:00 p.m. on weekdays and 11:00 a.m. on Sundays and religious holidays.
