history
The monastery was founded in 1150 (the information occasionally found: around 1126 may not be correct) in the forest known as Porte-Glands (now Fôret du Ramier), which Hardouin de Bouillas had founded, and was occupied by a founding convent consisting of Monastery L. 'Escaladieu came. The monastery thus belonged to the filiation of the primary abbey of Morimond . The Bastide Fleurance was founded in 1272 by the monastery and Eustache de Beaumarchès . In 1557 the monastery fell in Kommende . It came to an end in the French Revolution. It was canceled around 1826.
