Visit to discover a remarkable abbey, a jewel of Romanesque architecture, listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

This abbey, founded in 1079, and the church of Saint-Pierre, are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, as part of the Pilgrim's Way to Santiago de Compostela. Remarkable sculptures, capitals hiding exceptional creatures... This jewel of Romanesque architecture is a must-see in the Entre-deux-Mers region. You'll travel back in time as you listen to your guide's palaver, then climb 157 steps to the bell tower.

Abbaye intéressante dans laquelle vous pourrez vous imaginer à la place de religieux du Moyen Âge ou simplement monter au sommet de la tour pour avoir une vue imprenable sur les alentours

Malgré sa destruction partielle, cette abbaye abrite de sublimes chapiteaux et sculptures. L'accès au sommet de la tour permet d'embrasser le panorama alentour.
Le livret plastifié fournit toutes les explications pour cette visite libre, pour laquelle les chiens en laisse sont admis (à l'exception de l'accès à la tour).
Le jardin est un havre de paix.

Monument magnifique, bien qu'en ruines. Visite très agréable, notamment par beau temps. Le livret explicatif des ornements est très instructif. Endroit très calme et agréable

Très beau site à visiter en famille.
La vue au sommet de la tour vaut bien la peine de l ascension.
Un jeu ludique pour les enfants permet de capter l attention des enfants tout au long de la viste.
