This church is worth a visit for its lintel, the oldest dated stone of Romanesque sculpture
The Abbey of Saint-Génis-des-Fontaines is an ancient Benedictine monastery founded in 778-780. Like many religious buildings, it suffered many damages after the Revolution. The cloister is a rare example of transitional architecture between the Romanesque and the Gothic. This cloister is also worth a visit for the polychromy of its marble. As for the robust church, it is worth a visit for its lintel, the oldest stone dated Romanesque sculpture (1020).

Superbe baptême

Le cloître est très agréable et intéressant. Belle église romane. La visite se fait agréablement en moins d'une heure. Un petit jeu de piste est disponible pour les enfants, très approprié pour les enfants d'une dizaine d'années.

Le linteau se trouve à l'extérieur du cloître et peut se voir de l'extérieur, mais la visite du cloître est intéressante, une très belle colonnade avec des chapiteaux en très bon état.

Que dire , c'est un endroit qu'il faut absolument visiter, avec le passage par l'office du tourisme ou l'accueil et très chaleureux !
