History
Abbey built on a promontory overlooking the Bouble. The church, of Romanesque style, was built in the late 11th century or early 12th century; it comprises a nave of three bays, a marked transept and a choir with ambulatory. The abbatial residence and the cloister, of which only two galleries remain, were erected in the 15th century. The abbey was sold as national property during the Revolution. During the 19th century, it was restored and occupied by Benedictine nuns.
