List of Cistercian monasteries in France
The following is a list of Cistercian monasteries in France, including current and former Cistercian abbeys, and a few priories, on the current territory of France, for both monks and nuns.
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/Ordre_cistercien.svg/220px-Ordre_cistercien.svg.png)
These religious houses have belonged, at different times, to various congregations or groups within the Cistercian order, among which the most important, for the French monasteries, are:
- the Cistercians of the Common Observance, including the Cistercian Congregation of the Immaculate Conception;
- the Congregation of the Feuillants (1592–1791) (the Feuillants and Feuillantines)
- the Trappists (Cistercians of the Strict Observance, otherwise known as the Reformed Cistercians)
- the Bernardine Cistercians of Esquermes
Many of these monasteries during the course of their existence have been both Cistercian and Benedictine: see also List of Benedictine monasteries in France.
The dates in brackets are those of the beginning and the end of a monastery's status as a Cistercian house, which may be different from its dates of foundation and suppression.
The names of currently active Cistercian abbeys and independent priories are in bold. Apart from a very few unusually significant ones, dependent priories no longer operational are not usually listed.
