history
In 1199, monks from the Prads-Faillefeu monastery (in Prads-Haute-Bléone ) , belonging to the order of Chalais, founded the Valbonne monastery (from Latin vallis bona = dear valley) in the area of the village of Sartoux (today: Mouans-Sartoux ). In 1285 the monastery got into a leadership crisis and in 1297 it passed into the hands of the Benedictine monastery of Saint-André of Villeneuve-lès-Avignon . 1346 it was by Pope Clement VI. The Benedictine Abbey of Lérins was awarded and remained a priory until 1788. Then it was dissolved. The monastery church from the 13th century survived as a parish church ( Blasiuskirche ) in the village of Valbonne, which had been formed around the monastery from 1519. It has been a listed building along with the remaining convent buildings since 1984. It resembles the early Cistercian churches . The non-Cistercian church tower was only built in the 19th century.
