Abbey church of the former Benedictine monastery with remarkable votive offerings and a great organ renowned for its reconstruction

The abbey church of the former Benedictine monastery, founded in the 7th century, is a must-see! Inside, ex-votos depict scenes of rescue at sea. You can also admire the Dom Bedos organ, renowned for its reconstruction at the end of the last century. The bell tower to the right of the portal dates back to the 12th century, the porch to the 11th, while the bell tower to the left was added in the 19th century by the architect Abadie. The former Benedictine convent, which was originally converted into a hospice, now houses the École des Beaux-Arts.

Preciosa y gigantesca iglesia de estilo románico. La fachada principal es una maravilla, tanto arquitectónica como artística. Una pena que no lo pudiera visitar por dentro. Pero merece la pena disfrutar de su exterior si no es posible entrar en la iglesia

This is one of the two most impressive churches in Bordeaux. I like the way that the building is preserved with layers of time kept on the facades, creating a sense of a unique and attractive church in its own way. Unfortunately, when I visited, the square in front of the church was fenced for archaeology, and the church was not open, so I couldn't experience the space inside.

He estado en abril 2025. Está la plaza en obras y es muy interesante para los que amamos el románico. Pero está cerrada a diario. SOLO ABREN los viernes y los domingos.

Magnifique église, façade sculptées impressionnante, intérieur majestueux, malheureusement la guerre a détruit ses vitraux, et ceux des années 60 me semble assez moches, mais c'est un goût personnel, la place est en restauration, tout le quartier en aurait besoin
