Tissot was born in France in 1886, and after studies in the seminary of Saint-Sulpice, in 1906 he entered the community of Solesmes Abbey, then living in exile at Appuldurcombe on the Isle of Wight, England. Settling with the rest of the Solesmes community at nearby Quarr in 1908, he was ordained priest there and in 1921 appointed procurator for Solesmes to the Holy See. In these years he also taught patristics at the Benedictine house of studies at Sant’Anselmo on the Aventine.
He rejoined his community at Solesmes in 1925 as novice-master and in 1937 he was appointed Prior. The following year he became the Abbot of Quarr [1] when the house became an independent abbey in its own right. In 1964 he retired and returned to live at Solesmes, where after many years of tranquil life he died suddenly on 21 September 1983. He was to be succeeded as abbot by Dom Aelred Sillem. [1]
The Benedictines, officially the Order of Saint Benedict, are a mainly contemplative monastic order of the Catholic Church for men and for women who follow the Rule of Saint Benedict. Initiated in 529 they are the oldest of all the religious orders in the Latin Church. The male religious are also sometimes called the Black Monks, especially in English speaking countries, after the colour of their habits. Not all Benedictines wear black, however, with some like the Olivetans wearing white. They were founded by Benedict of Nursia, a 6th-century Italian monk who laid the foundations of Benedictine monasticism through the formulation of his Rule. Benedict's sister, Scholastica, possibly his twin, also became a religious from an early age, but chose to live as a hermit. They retained a close relationship until her death.

Though the monastery was supposed to continue as a community, within a few years at least the monks had dispersed. Today there remain only ruins.
