A fabulous visit to a most amazing historical abbey cloister. You can only wonder how the peoples of hundreds of years ago summoned up the energy and effort to build such monuments. Of course, faith is the answer.

Not big but an audio tour makes it a complete experience. Lots of interesting historical facts clearly presented. We were there for an hour and a half and we're never bored. The church is free and is in an original state. They need money but don't feel obligated.

Very beautiful survivor from yesteryear. With the large church next door (free entry) the cloisters are a very pleasant diversion. Combine with somewhere else in the locality, such as Monpazier.
