The Clervaux abbey overlooks the valley. This Romanesque Revival-style abbey was built in 1909-1910 by the Benedictine monks of Saint-Maru de Glanfeuil abbey. The monks still live there today and gather seven times a day for services. When you visit, stop by the crypt where you can discover the life and work of the Benedictines thanks to the photo exhibition. For those who wish to take part, mass is celebrated every day at 10.30 am.
