    Tips

    December 7, 2023

    The construction of the old Madeleine abbey dates back to the middle of the 12th century. This large Romanesque building has undergone successive alterations as well as a long restoration following a fire in 1940 but it remains the largest and most majestic religious building in the city.

    The now stripped interior appearance of the building only reinforces the majesty of the place. The beautiful south portal remained hidden behind the medieval city wall for a long time before being rediscovered at the end of the 19th century. Unlike the north facade, it has retained magnificent sculpted arches from the 12th century. The choir was rebuilt in the 16th century without the large ambulatory which previously existed but you can still admire a Renaissance tomb from the beginning of the 16th century in the apse.
