Flavigny-sur-Ozerain
|
Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is a small village and commune on a hilltop in the Côte-d'Or département, Burgundy région, in France.
It is reputed for its aniseed candy (anis de Flavigny). It has a seminar of the Society of St. Pius X (a very traditionalist breakaway branch of the Catholic Church). The movie Chocolat was shot in Flavigny.
This village also has a Benedictine monastery, which is in communion with the Catholic Church. The monks today occupy the same site where a monastery was located from the early Middle Ages to the Revolution. The monks returned in the 1970s. See www.clairval.com.
