Comment

Water in each of the Cistercian abbeys is an indispensable part of daily life. It was used for manual work and/or feeding the machines, but also for cooking and for religious ceremonies such as the mandatum which took place once a week. For all these tasks, a large quantity of water, potable or not, was necessary. The abbey was not lacking in water and the current aridity of the valley is not significant of the situation at the time, although it is known that the flow of water was not sufficient for the supply of water to a mill, hence its absence at Thoronet.https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_du_Thoronet
