The cloister is located to the north of the 12th century collegiate church. It was enlarged in 1380 and the Gothic architecture of its stone vaults can be admired. The collegiate church harmoniously combines Romanesque (choir and crypt), early Gothic (nave) and Baroque (altar) styles. The collegiate church hides the relics of Saint Ursanne under the high altar. The bones are kept in a stone coffin dating from the Gallo-Roman period. A very old place of worship, about fifty monolithic sarcophagi were found during excavations.

Moment de quiétude
Attenant à la Collégiale (accès possible depuis l’intérieur de la collégiale par porte à gauche du chœur), le Cloître, reconstruit et prolongé vers 1380 sur les fondations déjà existantes, fut restauré en 1551 puis en 1906. Il présente une série d’arcades de style ogival et ses galeries sont couvertes d’un toit en appentis. Le Cloître donne accès au Musée Lapidaire (côté nord, fermé au public sauf sur réservation à l’Office du tourisme) où il est possible de voir de très anciens sarcophages en pierre datant de l’époque de Charlemagne. En été, un festival de musique accueille les amoureux de la musique classique; en outre, diverses expositions ont lieu dans ce magnifique lieu de recueillement.
