    On the site of an oratory of Saint Denis, Louis VI founded an abbey of Benedictine nuns, and its church was consecrated in 1147 by Pope Eugene III, with Bernard of Clairvaux and Peter the Venerable. The church announces the emerging Gothic, and it keeps antique columns. The windows are by Max Ingrand, 1954, and the bronze doors by Tommaso Gismondi, 1980. The church was classified as a historic monument in 1923. The photograph of 2019 looks along the vaults to the lancets of the apse.
