Listed as a Historical Monument and recognised as a World Heritage Site by Unesco as a stopover on the Pilgrim's Route to Santiago de Compostela, the Royal Abbey of Saint-Jean d'Angély which has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, is now a large collection of buildings built in the 17th century in the classic style.

During the 18th century, the rooms were refurbished in the "new" styles of Rococo and Louis XVI.

Gate of Honour.
