History
The chapel dates from the end of the 12th century. The three bays are vaulted with toric rib vaults which spring from small engaged twin columns. The capitals are adorned with scrolls. The staircase which develops to the west of this chapel is located in the centre of an 18th-century wing. It possesses a wrought iron handrail which bears an abbot's escutcheon. Small flat vaults exist beneath the corner landings.
