Abbaye Saint-Spire de Corbeil, Medieval abbey in Corbeil-Essonnes, France.
The Saint-Spire Abbey features a bell tower, vaulted ceilings, and a cloister enclosed by stone walls near the Seine River.
Count Haymon founded the abbey in 950 to house the relics of Saint Exupère, the first bishop of Bayeux, transferred from Palluau.
The abbey transformed from a royal collegiate church into a cathedral in 1966, serving as the main religious center for Essonne department.
Visitors can arrange guided tours of the cathedral by contacting the presbytery reception at 01 64 96 01 08 or Philippe Salvon.
The religious complex maintained independence from local jurisdiction through direct oversight from the Bishop of Paris since 1070.
