Le Couvent des Minimes of Mane in Summer Le Couvent des Minimes of Mane in Winter
THE HISTORY Le Couvent des Minimes is located in the village of Mane, in the Alps of Haute-Provence France. Built in the 17th century it became a hospice in 1862. A few years later, a community of Franciscan Missionary Sisters of Mary made the convent their home. They cared for both the place and its residents in a spirit of generosity and enthusiasm. When not on missions abroad, they devoted themselves to cultivating the fertile land of the terraced gardens where they planted fruit trees and vines. These cultivations provided food for the residents of the Convent. They also helped the sisters to recuperate and build up their strength after returning from tropical countries. Today Le Couvent des Minimes beauty recipes pay homage to the long tradition of care and well-being through plants and generosity.
