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).

Excellent accueil, endroit de toute beauté tant le cloître que l'église tout à fait surprenante. Le niveau des explications fournies est de très bonne facture et historiquement fort documenté, je conseille.
