Carmel of Lisieux

Le Carmel de Lisieux

This is the Carmelite convent where St. Therese of Lisieux lived her religious life from 1888 until her death in 1897. The convent is still active, and Carmelite nuns (out of sight) participate in daily prayer which is open to the public. Attached to the church is a chapel where the relics of St. Therese are housed.
