The monastery is magnificent. The interior is truly splendid, and the facade is also very impressive. The church is quite pretty. The visit is quick. But it's very crowded. Estimated waiting time was 2 hours. But fortunately, families with strollers get priority access without having to queue! Thank you for this.

Very easy to buy tickets, although I was not able to take advantage of the 10% I got. The convent is beautiful. But in my opinion it could cost a tad less. There is only the outside porch tour to do.

very nice but the management of the entrance is to forget: 2 hours to access the cloister with a stay of about half an hour, exit and another queue to access the church, which by the way was closed for 3 hours so I had to return and make another queue, absurd, should be managed in a single entrance thank you
