    Tips

    It belongs stylistically to the Norman Gothic style in its early form and presenting characteristics specific to Normandy. It is particularly remarkable in the chapter house largely open to the old cloister, which has disappeared today.

    Practically nothing remains of the extra-cloistered buildings, except, to the north, the vaulted cellar surmounted by the Saint-Michel chapel. On the other hand, articulating with the ruins of the abbey church, the cloister building closing the conventual quadrangle to the east is practically intact. It constitutes a high-quality homogeneous ensemble, with in particular its two rooms on the ground floor (chapter house and nuns' work room) and its dormitory upstairs. This is a notable testimony both to the Anglo-Norman monastic architecture of the early 13th century and to the plan generally adopted in Cistercian abbeys. In addition, the preserved buildings having barely undergone any changes in the centuries following the Middle Ages, visitors can discover the abbey in its medieval appearance.

      Beautiful ruins with a small independent sculpture spot just by the bridge
