Above the Vieux-Port, Saint-Victor Abbey awaits behind a fortress-like exterior. Enter the church, then, if you choose to visit the crypts, look for traces of a history that long predates the medieval monastery. The preserved remains include evidence of ancient quarries and burial sites. This is still an active place of worship, so please be respectful during services.
