I'm so glad to see such topic for I am very attached to this congregation. I will join a Solesmes community in France if it's God's will! I am so over-joyed.

Here are nice links if you can master French:

- Sainte Cécile Abbey (Solesmes nuns) : [url="http://www.saintececiledesolesmes.org/"]http://www.saintececiledesolesmes.org/[/url]
- Kergonan Abbey (or the Plouharnel Benedictines) in Britanny : [url="http://www.saintmicheldekergonan.org/"]http://www.saintmicheldekergonan.org/[/url]
- Wisques Abbey (I think they founded Sainte Marie des Deux Montagnes in Québec) : [url="http://arras.catholique.fr/abbaye-wisques"]http://arras.catholique.fr/abbaye-wisques[/url]
