St. Pierre Le Jeune: Picture of the 11th century Romanesque gallery in the cloisters.

James Martin
Three 11th-century romanesque galleries are found in the cloisters. This picture shows the details of the columns. Despite having a long history of restorations, they can be considered the oldest surviving cloisters north of the Alps.
