Saint-Martin Abbey

Second in dignity in the Prémontrés order, the abbey church was built in the 12th century. The façade depicts Saint-Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar. Saint-Martin Abbey was a flourishing and powerful abbey until the French Revolution. Note that access to the interior of the church is limited (it is only open in the afternoons in summer: take the opportunity to admire its two recumbent figures at the entrance and its famous "hidden" nativity scene), but you can visit the cloister and the former conventual buildings adjoining it to the north (the latter house the Suzanne-Martinet municipal media library - check out its breathtaking staircase!).
