owner of the abbey, sold the buildings to the community, represented by its abbot Dom Barnouin. He then started some important works of restauration. New parts were built: for the novices above the river S\u00e9nancole, workshops in the south part and a monastic guest house in front of the church. Thanks to the numerous vocations, the community extended to 72 brothers.<\/p>\n<p>During that same period, Jean Leonard (1815-1895) entered at the abbey of S\u00e9nanque and became the master of novices. He became after that abbot of the abbey of Fontfroide which is truly seen as a place of charity and hospitality. The words and the writings of Jean Leonard influenced personalities like Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, Dom Chautard and Saint Antoine Marie Claret. His beatification process is currently in progress.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\"><li role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-0f7c159c07219c01aca\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-1880-1889\" href=\"#tab-0f7c159c07219c01aca\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">1880 - 1889<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-1880-1889\" id=\"tab-0f7c159c07219c01aca\">\n<p>However, the 5<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0November 1881, the police evicted the monks because of the laws of the 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0French Republic: most of the monks moved to the abbeys of Fontfroide and L\u00e9rins. Three brothers were allowed to stay in S\u00e9nanque to look after the monastery on condition of abandoning orders.<\/p>\n<p>In 1882, the abbey was sold again as a public property for 15\u00a0000 francs.<\/p>\n<p>In 1889, the monks came back discreetly at the abbey without contestation of the owner. At the beginning of the XX<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century, authorities reacted against that installation: the community is evicted once again in 1903.

The lease is signed on the 24<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0October 1969 and several campaigns of restauration started. This agreement was encouraged by the Minister of Culture, Andr\u00e9 Malraux, who was determined to save monuments in danger.<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the 1980\u2019s, the monastic community of L\u00e9rins was big enough to expand in Italy (monastery of Pra\u2019d\u2019Mill) and considered to return to S\u00e9nanque. The emphyteutic lease is not finished yet but Paul Berliet gave back the abbey to the brothers. The 26<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0November 1988, a part of the Cistercian community of L\u00e9rins went to Senanque.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the community still follows the rule of Saint Benedict and lives thanks to the work of the brothers. Cultivation of lavandin, of olive trees, production of honey, visits of the abbey, hospitality and monastic shop permit the monks to live but also to maintain and restore the
