The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Située hors des anciens remparts de la ville, l'église dépendait à l'origine d'un monastère bénédictin fondé au 9e siècle. Au 13e siècle, construction d'une nouvelle église gothique restée inachevée. Fin 15e siècle, nouvel édifice bâti à l'intérieur du premier. Après les aléas dus aux guerres de religion, l'église est restaurée sous Henri IV. Grands travaux de réfection intérieure au 18e siècle. Vendue comme bien national pendant la Révolution, puis rendue au culte et restaurée au début du 19e, le mobilier ancien est remplacé par du mobilier récupéré dans l'église des Jacobins (chaire, autel de la Vierge...).

Located outside the former ramparts of the city, the church was originally dependent on a Benedictine monastery founded in the 9th century. In the 13th century, construction of a new Gothic church which remained unfinished. Late 15th century, new building constructed within the first. After the turmoil caused by the Wars of Religion, the church is restored under Henri IV. Major works of interior restoration in the 18th century. Sold as national property during the Revolution, then returned to worship and restored in the early 19th century, the old furnishings are replaced by furnishings recovered from the church of the Jacobins (pulpit, altar of the Virgin...).
