The abbey, which is a true witness to Provençal Romanesque art, was built between the end of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th on an older site. Classified as a historic monument since 1886,the monastery owes its construction to the powerful Abbey of Saint-Victor.
The church was built in 1295 on the crypt housing the remains of Mary Magdalene, making this church of her the third tomb of Christianity in terms of importance.
