Lavaudieu - Abbaye Saint-André by Martin M. Miles on Flickr.

The abbey, founded as a nunnery within the 11th century, was the only one in the Auvergne, that went through the turmoil of the French Revolution without any vandalism.
Some buildings got “remodeled”, when, after the nuns had left, it was used for agricultural purposes (and some parts got demolished), but there is a well known cloister, with some really extraordenary carvings - and medieval frescoes.
