La Tourette was built between 1953 and 1960 in Eveux (near Lyon) and is the last major work of Le Corbusier in France. The strength, the richness and the complexity of the masterpiece is so extraordinary that in 1986 it was chosen by French architects as the second most important modern architectural project, the Centre Pompidou in Paris designed by Piano and Rogers being number one.
The priory Holy Mary of La Tourette houses a Dominican community of twelve friars. Coming to the convent is about sharing experiences in harmony exchanging with visitors.
You are most welcome to stay as long as you want. Come and visit us for an unforgettable and unusual stay. Rooms must be booked in advance.
