Abbaye de Mègemont, Cistercian abbey in Chassagne, France.
Mègemont Abbey stands in a valley at 900 meters altitude, featuring a 13th-century transept and choir along with 18th-century conventual buildings.
Founded in 1206 by the Count of Auvergne for nuns, the abbey became affiliated with Montpeyroux before being sold as national property during the 1793 Revolution.
The monument displays characteristic Cistercian architectural elements, including ribbed vault rooms and stucco decorations in the conventual buildings.
Visits take place on Thursdays and Sundays from 2 PM to 6 PM, June through October, with adult tickets at 4 euros and reduced rates at 3 euros.
