At 19, Sister Mechtilde retired from the world.
She made the choice to offer her life to God by becoming a Benedictine nun.
Silence, prayers and services punctuate his daily life in a monastery in the Ariège in the Pyrenees.
Cut off from those close to her, she only goes out to see a doctor and go to vote.
What drives young women like Sister Mechtilde to embrace a monastic life?
What were their expectations for the life of a nun?
In this episode of "Dans les Yeux d'Olivier", the podcast adapted by Europe 1 Studio, she confides her story to Olivier Delacroix.
She tells about her daily life at the monastery and testifies to the richness of the links forged with her new "family".
