The Michelin Guide's review
The cloister is a fine example of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic: the Romanesque arcade adjoining the church has imposing ogive vaulting in the Gothic style, which prevails in the other three arcades. Admire the simplicity of the Cistercian architecture and the capitals, adorned with foliate and geometric motifs.
