The abbey church is the last witness to the grandiose ensemble that was the most important abbey in Poitou

A long ship anchored in the countryside overlooking the Dive valley... The Romanesque abbey church of exceptional dimensions was founded in the 4th century and rebuilt in the 11th and 12th centuries. It is the last witness of the grandiose ensemble that was the most important abbey in Poitou. Its rich facade, its Plantagenet vaults and its gothic cloister attract countless visitors. You can discover the garden of the presbytery and the contents of its rare chapel during the JEP.

La D37 faisant une courbe à 90 degrés juste devant l’abbatiale, on a une vue superbe sur la façade de l’abbatiale dès l’arrivée! La richesse de son ornementation éblouit. Les deux thèmes, l’Église et l’humanité se rejoignent au fronton avec la représentation du Jugement Dernier.
N’hésitez pas à faire le tour de l’abbatiale. Le mur méridional est percé de dix fenêtres romanes, toutes différentes, avec arcs en plein cintre et colonnettes, chapiteaux sculptés, archivoltes couvertes de gracieuses sculptures, palmettes, dents de scie et billettes.
Une esplanade surélevée par rapport à l’église permet de prendre du recul pour bien voir le chevet soigné. Approchez-vous du muret pour admirer les colonnettes et les pilastres du niveau inférieur. Observez également les modillons!
En entrant on remarque la taille qui reflète son statut d’abbatiale. Les chapiteaux et clés de voute retiendront certainement votre attention!
