Le Reclus Abbey

Le Reclus Abbey (French: Abbaye Notre-Dame du Reclus; Abbatia Sanctae Mariae de Recluso) was a Cistercian monastery in the present Talus-Saint-Prix near Sézanne in the arrondissement of Épernay, Marne, France.

Hugh had at first retired from the world to an arid place in the parish of Saint-Prix known as Fons Balimi around 1128–1130, before being joined by a few companions.

Hugo possibly died that same year; after his death the villagers kept his memory alive by burning a lamp on his grave.

Probably also in that year Le Reclus became a daughter house of Vauclair Abbey.

Le Reclus was always a poor monastery, but nevertheless survived up to the French Revolution, when it was suppressed.
