Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

Notre-Dame de l’Atlas preserves the graves and memory of the seven Trappist brothers killed in 1996, part of the nineteen Martyrs of Algeria beatified in 2018. The monastery remains a place of prayer, hospitality and Christian-Muslim friendship.
