This abbatiale has been and still is an important stop for hikers and pilgrims on the Road to Compostella. Its stark beauty is enhanced by the modern, milky stained glass windows by Soulages , reminiscent of the first abbatiale windows covered simply with parchment paper. The Tympanum representing the Last Judgement over the main door is simply miraculous! You wonder how it survived religious wars , or the French Revolution...It looks like a comics book, especially with the devils trying to influence the Judgement in order to send more humans to hell...It must have terrified people in the Middle Ages! Don't miss Frere Jean's explanation in the evening, nor the night visit of the abbatiale 2nd story while organ is played down below. The Brothers Community is extremely welcoming and helpful!

This is a beautiful medieval village high in the mountains with an incredible Abbey dedicated to St Foy See my separate view on the Abbey. Definitely worth a visit.
