Trip Highlights
St. Benoit-du-Lac Abbey
|
Located on the shores of Lake Memphremagog, the Abbey is a community of about thirty Benedictine monks who live according to the monastic rule written by Saint Benedict (480-547 AD).
Our guided tour will include exploring the daily monastic life, admiring the architecture of the abbey and finally, learning about the traditional methods of making cheeses. Followed of course by an opportunity for some cheese tasting and a chance to purchase some of these exquisite cheeses from their store. We will finish our visit by experiencing a Gregorian chanting session by the monks. Each person experiences it in their own way but we can assure you, those haunting notes will last a lifetime! |
