An altarpiece brought back after the demolition of the parish church of Saint-Georges (sold and destroyed during the Revolution) can be seen, as well as terracotta statues (including a 16th-century Virgin and Child). In the 18th century, the canons regular, Premonstratensians of the Order of Saint Augustine, occupied the abbey (which was then dedicated to the Immaculate Conception).
