The Monestary of Montmajor

The Abbey of Montmajor is actually a set of buildings constructed at different time periods—ironically, some of the newer ones (18th century) are in much poorer shape than the older ones (12th-14th centuries). There’s a crypt with very interesting vaulting which originally was said to hold relics of the Cross, as well as a church that dates from 1153. We spent a quick hour walking thru the ruins, it is just so amazing to see the remains of the dormatory and library from across the valley floor. Sophia loved the cloister next to the church, but other than that there weren't a lot of places where she could walk without us feeling like we were making a bad parenting decision.
