The stained glass windows:

The stained glass windows were made in the workshops Thomas in Valence starting in 1952.

In the chancel  you can admire from left to right:

-  the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane
-  the death of Jesus upon Calvary's cross
-  the Deposition

The southern-side chapel (dedicated in the past to John Dory):

    While the church was being renovated, the company VitrailFrance from Le Mans removed the stained glass windows (shown in pics) in 2006 to clean and repair them and they replaced them in October, 2007.

The stained glass windows remind us of the abbey’s foundation and represent:

-  Saint Helena who is discovering the Holy Cross in Jerusalem
-  Adalbert’s wife, Judith, who founded the monastery
-  Theodoric, the bishop of Metz, who is blessing the place

The northern-side chapel (dedicated to the Virgin):

In the chapel you will recognize some famous Christian events:

-  the Annunciation
-  the Assumption
-  Pius XII who is proclaiming the dogma of the Assumption

Have a look also at the beautiful blind arches.
