Thoronet Abbey, one of the three Cistercian gems in Provence (along with Senanque and Silvacane) was built during the second half of the 12th Century. Set in a secluded spot in Darboussière forest, between Draguignan and Brignoles, the church and its cloister provide a wonderful illustration of the simplicity and sobriety of Cistercian architecture.
