Ancienne abbaye de St-Jean-des-Vignes Recommended Recommended : Michelin's recommendations

Two dramatic clock towers, extremely elegant and with a lovely 13C facade, are all that remain: the church was demolished in 1805 to restore the cathedral! Happily the abbey buildings are still standing: a beautiful refectory with seven fine columns crowned with leafy capitals, the cellars, the large cloister (all that remains are two galleries, but the capitals are extremely beautiful!) and the small cloister with its two Renaissance bays.
