Abbaye St. Benoit Du Lac - Québec, Canada

Abbaye St. Benoit Du Lac was founded in 1912, when Monastic settlements were established in Québec's Eastern Townships by monks who had been expelled from France.
Today, visitors are welcome to meet the monks and participate in the recitation of Gregorian chants -- many of which were composed prior to 1000 A.D.

Why talk over Gregorian chant? The transcendent beauty of the chant is infinitely more eloquent than the banalities of the - well - intentioned - voice - over!

S'ils sont de moines francophones l'interview aurait eté plus riche en francais! C'est domage que même au Quebec les moines de la congregation francaise doivent s'exprimer en anglais.
