The Notre-Dame-de-l’Annonciation abbey in Le Barroux, founded in the 20th century, is an abbey of Benedictine nuns located in Le Barroux in the department of Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France.
The monastery has around thirty nuns.
In 1979, four young girls around Mother Élisabeth de La Londe (January 1, 1922 – December 23, 2015) founded a new Benedictine community near the Sainte-Madeleine du Barroux abbey which is dedicated to the Virgin of the Annunciation. After purchasing land in 1987, the community embarked on work which would enable the erection of a brand new monastery. The community was canonically recognized in 1989 following the Motu proprio known as “Ecclesia Dei”. The foundation as an abbey was established in 1992.
