[FR] La nef est romane (XIe-XIIe siècle), le transept et le chœur sont gothiques (XIIIe siècle), tout comme les chapelles latérales de la nef (XIVe siècle). En 1329, suite à un relâchement monastique et à une tentative de reprise en main difficile par l'abbé de Cluny, les reliques des deux saints protecteurs du monastère, saint Vivien et saint Marcel, furent élevées.
