The Priory St Jean-Baptist, Our Lady of Hope Congregation subsidiary, is located in Périgord, at southwest of France, in Double, near the borders of the Dordogne and the Gironde.


The Double is a vast forest strewn with hundreds of ponds, with isolated farms and some picturesque villages.

Here the quality of life is incomparable, in the middle of a nature which remained wild, where space is breathed, without excessive isolation.

The closest cities are Montpon, Mussidan, Libourne and Périgueux. .


Our Priory is settled in a large farm surrounded by its grounds.

The community lives on breeding and goat cheese sale manufactured by the monks.
