Testimony of the Romanesque purity and the Benedictine patience, the abbey of Guîtres, white and noble, on its terrace dominating the valley of the Isle, is rightly regarded as one of the most admirable monuments of Aquitaine. The abbey church is equipped with a large organ, an exceptional instrument because of the originality of its construction and its location, in the nave near the transept crossing, which ensures the homogeneity of the sound diffusion.
