1. Le Prieuré Saint-Martin-des-Champs Marker
L'église est devenue une annexe du musée, le réfectoire, sa bibliothèque. A l'angle de la rue Saint-Martin et de la rue du Vertbois subsiste une tour de l'enceinte du XIIIe siècle.
Documented as early as the 8th century, the priory was reorganized under the protection of King Henry I in the 11th century.

The monastic buildings were erected
