This large late 19th century basilica houses the Trésor Saint-Gervais, a church treasure containing precious metals, the most striking object of which is the reliquary* with the head of St. Aubert. The carillon of the basilica has 32 bells, including a bourdon of 6434 kg, the second heaviest bell in Normandy.

The trésor contains important manuscripts of the foundation of Mt St Michel, and the skull of its founder with an unusual natural hole from a cyst or tumor that might have contributed to his legend after his death.
