Le refectory seen from the bottom. We can see on the far right the banister of the small staircase of the pulpit for the reader. The table of the prioress and sub-prioress is under the crucifix on the wall. The back door on the right overlooks St Alexis and the staircase leading up to the priorat and the corridor of the cells.
