In addition to the religious buildings and the museum, you can visit the abbey church through a handsome central door to find remarkable pieces, including several chapels adorned with 15C and 17C frescoes. The chancel is adorned with eight Aubusson tapestries (17C). Finally, the treasury boasts a splendid ivory Christ (33cm high).
