Surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of the Pilat Regional Nature Park, the Site of the Charterhouse in Sainte-Croix-en-Jarez has been a place dedicated to contemplation since its origin. This unique heritage tells us the past glory of the Carthusian Order as well as the tumultuous History of France.

During the French Revolution, the silent monks were replaced by the liveliness of the inhabitants. Nowadays, visitors can discover the unique architecture of one of the Plus beaux villages de France® (most beautiful villages in France).

Welcome to a place like no other!
