First Benedictine, then Cistercian, the abbey has known a great prosperity and has even been a bastion of Catholicism. You can admire various well-preserved Romanesque buildings and walk through the luminous cloister, the monks' former walking path. The monastery has a beautiful, colourful and fragrant rose garden where you can take a walk and a gourmet restaurant. It has been listed as a historical monument since 1862.
