Lonely Planet review for St Peter of the Novitiates
The oldest church in France, Église St-Pierre-aux-Nonnains has incredibly escaped destruction numerous times. Built pre-AD 400 as part of a Gallo-Roman spa complex (note the red-brick striped walls), it was a women's monastery in the 7th century, periodically expanded and from 1556 used for weapons storage. Today it hosts concerts and exhibitions.
