The church Saint Théofrède (the other saint Chaffre's name), founded by this monastery of Velay is a romanesque monument which, in spite of diverse reorganizations, have preserved elements in rise and draft with simple nave with laterals arcatures always visible. This rural priory is completed by a building "lodging house" and a agricultural domain.
