Fontevraud Abbey presents its Romanesque nave exterior with characteristic architectural detailing in the Loire Valley, France. The substantial tuffeau limestone construction features blind arcading, corbel tables, and the rounded apse typical of Romanesque ecclesiastical architecture. The building's impressive mass demonstrates the resources devoted to this major royal abbey, while architectural details reveal skilled craftsmanship applied throughout. The exterior composition balances solid wall surfaces with decorative arcading, creating visual rhythm typical of twelfth-century French Romanesque design.
