Follow in the footsteps of Dom Robert, an iconic 20th-century artist renowned for his famous tapestries inspired by the nature and landscapes of the South-West.

A cultural itinerary in three unmissable stages

1. The Dom Robert Museum in Sorèze

Housed in the former abbey-school of Sorèze, the Dom Robert Museum invites you to discover the poetic world of the Benedictine monk and tapestry artist Dom Robert.
His monumental works, inspired by the flora and fauna of the Lauragais, offer a unique immersion in the art of contemporary tapestry.

 

2. Saint-Benoît Abbey in En Calcat

Nestled at the foot of the Montagne Noire, En Calcat Abbey is a place of peace and spirituality founded in the late 19th century.
Still home to a Benedictine community, it upholds a living monastic tradition in the heart of an exceptional natural setting.

 

3. The Church of Massaguel and the works of Dom Robert

Continue your exploration at the Church of Massaguel, where several works by Dom Robert can be admired in an intimate and authentic setting, bearing witness to the deep connection between the artist, spirituality and the Lauragais region.
