L'Eau Vive

Today, I dined with nuns. The restaurant L'Eau Vive is something of a local attraction, as the French-themed cafe is run exclusively by nuns of the Carmelite order. A priest founded the quiet, tasty retreat more than 60 years ago, and it attracts nuns from around the world-- my waitress was Congolese. The place is efficient but I was only disappointed that the women don't wear their habits during this service.


Beneath the nuns' quarter is the restaurant.

The Carmelite order.
