Throughout its history, it has undergone periods of prosperity and decline, including damage during the Wars of Religion. In the 19th century, it served as a refuge for exiled monks from Solesmes Abbey before becoming a center for artistic residencies and cultural events in more recent times. The abbey church is noted for its Romanesque architecture and acoustics which make it a popular venue for musical performances. The site is considered an important historical landmark within the Lozère department of France and actively promotes regional heritage.
