The following is a list of Cistercian monasteries in France, including current and former Cistercian abbeys, and a few priories, on the current territory of France, for both monks and nuns.
These religious houses have belonged, at different times, to various congregations or groups within the Cistercian order, among which the most important, for the French monasteries, are:
- the Cistercians of the Common Observance, including the Cistercian Congregation of the Immaculate Conception;
- the Congregation of the Feuillants (1592–1791) (the Feuillants and Feuillantines)
- the Trappists (Cistercians of the Strict Observance, otherwise known as the Reformed Cistercians)
- the Bernardines
Many of these monasteries during the course of their existence have been both Cistercian and Benedictine: see also List of Benedictine monasteries in France.
The dates in brackets are those of the beginning and the end of a monastery's status as a Cistercian house, which may be different from its dates of foundation and suppression.
The names of currently active Cistercian abbeys and independent priories are in bold. Apart from a very few unusually significant ones, dependent priories no longer operational are not usually listed.

“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“All is possible,
Who so list believe;
Trust therefore first, and after preve,
As men wed ladies by license and leave,
All is possible.”
—Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?1542)
“While learning the language in France a young mans morals, health and fortune are more irresistibly endangered than in any country of the universe.”
