The interior is striking in its simplicity, bearing little resemblance to the great centers of pilgrimage such as Vézelay, Autun, Le Puy-en-Velay, or Arles, whose design was dictated in part by the practical concerns of receiving huge numbers of pilgrims. Yet, as the abbey of St-Sauveur was not really off the beaten track, two remarks are in order. First of all, the majority of the pilgrim traffic must have gone elsewhere, most likely to the neighboring church of St-Jean, as it held relics from the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, brought back after the first Crusade. Secondly, the square apse visible here, without ambulatory or radiating chapels, is typical of the so-called "Benedictine" style.
