  Scene was shot Fontfroide Abbey was founded in 1093 by Aimery I, Viscount of Narbonne. It remained poor and obscure and needed to be refounded by Ermengarde, Viscountess of Narbonne. It was initially a Benedictine abbey, but was incorporated into the Cistercian order between 1144 and 1145. It was dissolved in 1791 in the course of the French Revolution. In 1858 it was re-founded by monks from Sénanque Abbey. The community was driven out of France in 1901. The premises passed into private hands in 1908, when the artists Gustave and Madeleine Fayet d'Andoque bought it to protect the fabric of the buildings from an American collector of sculpture. They restored it over a number of years and used it as a centre for artistic projects. It still remains in private hands.
