The abbey house is distributed on two levels, the ground floor where we can distinguish the refectory and the boiler room and the first floor where the prior room and cells are located. This abbey has been listed as a historic monument since 1922. Benedictine monks have settled there since 2000. The abbey, which houses the tombs of Archambault VIII and his wife Beatrix de Montluçon, can be visited (proper dress required).
Only the church can be visited for free. A small shop offers bee products from the monastery. It is possible to stay in the monastery as part of a retreat. All contact is by phone or mail.
