The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce qui reste du prieuré est un petit bâtiment avec un vestibule contenant l'escalier montant à l'étage, et une grande salle voûté d'arête, dont la retombée au centre se fait sur deux colonnes qui supportent des chapiteaux. Le premier étage a conservé, à l'est, des ouvertures du 12e siècle. La chapelle est composée d'une nef terminée par un cul de four. Lorsqu'il était complet, le prieuré devait se composer d'un petit cloître en charpente, entouré de bâtiments. La galerie orientale donnait accès à la chapelle, à la salle capitulaire voûtée par six travées d'arêtes et à un escalier donnant accès au dortoir situé au-dessus de la salle capitulaire.

What remains of the priory is a small building with a vestibule containing the staircase leading to the upper floor, and a large hall vaulted with a groin vault, whose central support is made on two columns which support capitals. The first floor has preserved, to the east, openings from the 12th century. The chapel consists of a nave terminated by a cove. When complete, the priory must have consisted of a small timber cloister, surrounded by buildings. The eastern gallery gave access to the chapel, to the chapter house vaulted by six bays of groin vaults and to a staircase giving access to the dormitory situated above the chapter house.
