The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le bâtiment est situé dans le prolongement de l'absidiole romane méridionale de l'église. Il se divise en deux éléments : un passage entre l'absidiole et la salle capitulaire ; l'ancienne salle capitulaire composée de deux travées voûtées en berceau sur doubleaux et colonnes (autrefois chapiteaux romans sculptés, aujourd'hui disparus).

The building is situated in the extension of the southern Romanesque apsidiole of the church. It is divided into two elements: a passage between the apsidiole and the chapter house; the former chapter house composed of two bays vaulted with barrel vault on transverse ribs and columns (formerly sculpted Romanesque capitals, now disappeared).
