The cloister of Saint-Philibert
The cloister is leaned at the southern side of the nave. It has only two galleries in north and the east.
The northern gallery opens on the garden by curved arcades which rest on solid masses square pillars, framed by squat columns, with the vegetable and geometrical capitals. This gallery is covered with a groined vault received by imbedded columns.
The Eastern gallery is covered by a frame. It gives on the chapter house (closed).
A small concise museum gathers a certain number of original parts of the cloister and church.
One finds there in particular capitals. Best preserved present a fantastic bestiary. The historiated capitals are damaged.
