The site, after nine centuries of monastic life, offers a prestigious heritage such as the numerous monastic buildings, a Museum of Art and Archeology containing remarkable works of Romanesque civil sculpture, a monastic town rich in Romanesque and Gothic houses, two churches, a majestic Hôtel-Dieu or a superb panorama from the top of the Tour des Fromages.

The remains of a spiritual center, seat of the largest medieval monastic order in the West are therefore to be discovered by walking under the high Roman vaults and admiring masterpieces of sculpture.
