The cloister and the abbey church are the heart of the visit. Of the Gothic church, the high walls of the nave and transept remain, open to the sky; of the cloister, the arcades and a rose window cut out against the trees. Go early or in the late afternoon if you want photos with few people and side light.

Opening hours and prices can change: check them before you go.
