St Mary's Abbey of Boulaur, a former priory of the Order of Fontevraud, is a monastery of Cistercian nuns. It was founded in the 12th century and was originally a Fontevrist monastery that was abolished during the French Revolution. Cistercian nuns reinstated it at the end of the 19th century, and were expelled under the Associations Act of 1901. Monastic life was definitively restored in 1949. In 2011 the community had about thirty nuns.
