Abbaye Saint-Martin

It is the oldest known abbey in Gaul, founded in the 4th century by Saint-Martin. Excavations have revealed a set of pre-Romanesque buildings: Gallo-Roman villa...
Can be visited: the parish church, the new exhibition hall, the religious library, the exhibition of enamels created by the monks.
In the claustral church, services are celebrated to the slow rhythm of Gregorian chants (inquire for the times of the masses).
Recent specialty: the SCOFA (Sugar, Cream, Egg, Flour, Almonds) artisanal pastries on sale on site at the Abbey store.
