Behind the classical 17th century façade lies a magnificent building that combines Romanesque art and Plantagenet Gothic. The Saint-Pierre church is a representative building of Plantagenet Gothic (12th-13th century), particularly due to its strongly curved vaults. The furnishings include a remarkable series of 15th century choir stalls. (Organ concerts are regularly given here).
The restoration of the west façade began in November 2008.

A team of stonemasons consolidated and restored this classical façade in a "composite" style. This façade had closed off the nave since the 17th century after the collapse of the first Gothic façade.

The building was then completely restored!
