Abbey of Grandselve


Grandselve Abbey (French: Abbaye de Notre-Dame de Grandselve) was a Cistercian monastery in south-west France, at Bouillac, Tarn-et-Garonne. It was one of the most important Cistercian abbeys in the south of France.

Initially, in 1114, it was a Benedictine foundation set up by Gerald of Sales. It joined the Cistercian movement as a daughter house of Clairvaux Abbey in 1144 or 1145.

The abbey was suppressed during the French Revolution.
