Description

A lesser-known masterpiece of early Gothic art. This abbey church impresses with the purity of its lines and its 12th-century stained glass windows. It served as an architectural model for Reims Cathedral, particularly for the design of the choir. A peaceful and cultural stop on the Champagne tourist route.
