Saint Philibert Abbey in Tournus, France.

A masterpiece of 10th- to 12th-century Romanesque architecture, this abbey church has a beautiful 12th-century bell tower, along with some superb and extremely rare 12th-century mosaics of the calendar and the zodiac which were discovered by chance in 2002. A multilingual audioguide (€5) is available upon request.
