WELCOME
in our Holy Monastery!
Monastère Bois-Salair - Entrée portillon

In the Bois-Salair forest, at the exit of the village of Fontaine-Daniel, is the Orthodox Monastery of the Nativity of the Mother of God.

The monastic community lives there according to the traditional rule of Orthodox monasticism punctuated by personal prayer alternating with liturgical prayer and work.

TROPAIRE
of the Nativity of the Mother of God

Your birth, O Mother of God,
announced the joy  to the whole universe.
For from you has risen the Sun of righteousness,
Christ our God: effacing  the curse,
He gave us the blessing and, slaying death,
Gave us the gift of eternal life.
